Networking Basics
=================
The networking layer is basically a replaceable REST client. It is defined as a utility
providing methods such as GET, POST etc.
Let's retrieve the standard utility (this is overridden here in this test to use a mockup network library):
>>> from pyogp.lib.base.exc import HTTPError
>>> from pyogp.lib.base.tests.mockup_client import MockupClient
>>> from pyogp.lib.base.tests.base import StdLibClient
>>> client = MockupClient(StdLibClient())
Now we can use it. Let's post something to our test server:
>>> response = client.GET('http://localhost:12345/network/get')
>>> response.body
'Hello, World'
Let's try a 404:
>>> client.GET('http://localhost:12345/foobar')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
HTTPError: 404 Not Found
The error object also has some more information in it:
>>> try:
... client.GET('http://localhost:12345/foobar')
... except HTTPError, error:
... pass
Let's check what's available
>>> error.code
404
>>> error.msg
'Not Found'
>>> error.fp.read()
'resource not found.'
POSTing something
=================
>>> response = client.POST('http://localhost:12345/network/post','test me')
>>> response.body
'returned: test me'
