l.t.MockHttp(BaseMockHttpObject) : class documentation

Part of libcloud.test View Source View In Hierarchy

A mock HTTP client/server suitable for testing purposes. This replaces
`HTTPConnection` by implementing its API and returning a mock response.

Define methods by request path, replacing slashes (/) with underscores (_).
Each of these mock methods should return a tuple of:

    (int status, str body, dict headers, str reason)

>>> mock = MockHttp('localhost', 8080)
>>> mock.request('GET', '/example/')
>>> response = mock.getresponse()
>>> response.body.read()
'Hello World!'
>>> response.status
200
>>> response.getheaders()
[('X-Foo', 'libcloud')]
>>> MockHttp.type = 'fail'
>>> mock.request('GET', '/example/')
>>> response = mock.getresponse()
>>> response.body.read()
'Oh Noes!'
>>> response.status
403
>>> response.getheaders()
[('X-Foo', 'fail')]
