Have a look at the Requests exception docs. In short: In the event of a network problem (e.g. DNS failure, refused connection, etc), Requests will raise a ConnectionError exception. In the event of the rare invalid HTTP response, Requests will raise an HTTPError exception. If a request times out, a Timeout exception is raised. If … Read more
A simple method: enable logging in recent versions of Requests (1.x and higher.) Requests uses the http.client and logging module configuration to control logging verbosity, as described here. Demonstration Code excerpted from the linked documentation: import requests import logging # These two lines enable debugging at httplib level (requests->urllib3->http.client) # You will see the REQUEST, … Read more
This is my understanding of what the relations are between the various “urllibs”: In the Python 2 standard library there exist two HTTP libraries side-by-side. Despite the similar name, they are unrelated: they have a different design and a different implementation. urllib was the original Python HTTP client, added to the standard library in Python … Read more
If upload_file is meant to be the file, use: files = {‘upload_file’: open(‘file.txt’,’rb’)} values = {‘DB’: ‘photcat’, ‘OUT’: ‘csv’, ‘SHORT’: ‘short’} r = requests.post(url, files=files, data=values) and requests will send a multi-part form POST body with the upload_file field set to the contents of the file.txt file. The filename will be included in the mime … Read more
The proxies‘ dict syntax is {“protocol”: “scheme://ip:port”, …}. With it you can specify different (or the same) proxie(s) for requests using http, https, and ftp protocols: http_proxy = “http://10.10.1.10:3128” https_proxy = “https://10.10.1.11:1080” ftp_proxy = “ftp://10.10.1.10:3128” proxies = { “http” : http_proxy, “https” : https_proxy, “ftp” : ftp_proxy } r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, proxies=proxies) Deduced from … Read more
Unfortunately, as far as I know, the requests library is not equipped for performing asynchronous requests. You can wrap async/await syntax around requests, but that will make the underlying requests no less synchronous. If you want true async requests, you must use other tooling that provides it. One such solution is aiohttp (Python 3.5.3+). It … Read more
The problem you are having is caused by an untrusted SSL certificate. Like @dirk mentioned in a previous comment, the quickest fix is setting verify=False: requests.get(‘https://example.com’, verify=False) Please note that this will cause the certificate not to be verified. This will expose your application to security risks, such as man-in-the-middle attacks. Of course, apply judgment. … Read more
I know you’ve found another solution, but for those like me who find this question, looking for the same thing, it can be achieved with requests as follows: Firstly, as Marcus did, check the source of the login form to get three pieces of information – the url that the form posts to, and the … Read more
Basically, if you specify a files parameter (a dictionary), then requests will send a multipart/form-data POST instead of a application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST. You are not limited to using actual files in that dictionary, however: >>> import requests >>> response = requests.post(‘http://httpbin.org/post’, files=dict(foo=’bar’)) >>> response.status_code 200 and httpbin.org lets you know what headers you posted with; in … Read more
You can either use the response.raw file object, or iterate over the response. To use the response.raw file-like object will not, by default, decode compressed responses (with GZIP or deflate). You can force it to decompress for you anyway by setting the decode_content attribute to True (requests sets it to False to control decoding itself). … Read more
