robotframework-httplibrary

--------------------------

**robotframework-httplibrary** is a `Robot Framework

`_ test library for all your HTTP

needs. It uses `livetest `_ (which, in

turn uses the famous `webtest `_ library

underneath).

`_::

  pip install --upgrade robotframework-httplibrary

Usage

-----

API documentation can be found at

`http://peritus.github.com/robotframework-httplibrary/

`_, here is an example

on how to use it:

\             [Documentation]                    Follows a Redirect

  :target: http://peritus.github.com/robotframework-httplibrary/log.html

Compatibility

-------------

This library is only tested on CPython. It might work on Jython, not sure.

Development

-----------

If you want to hack on this library itself, this should get you started::

  # bootstrap development environment

  git clone https://github.com/peritus/robotframework-httplibrary.git

  cd robotframework-httplibrary/

  python bootstrap.py

  ./bin/buildout

  

  # run tests

  ./bin/robotframework tests/

I'm very happy about patches, pull-requests and API-discussions (as this is

mostly a wrapper supposed to have a nice API)!

Changelog

---------

**v0.4.2**

- Don't enforce ASCII when converting to JSON (so chinese characters are

  printed as such and not escaped like \uXXXX). Thanks Terry Yin!

**v0.4.1**

- Tested with Robot Framework 2.8rc1

- Uses jsonpointer 1.0, jsonpatch 1.0

**v0.4.0**

- Compatible with Webtest > 2.0

- hard-deprecate 'Set HTTP Host', will be removed soon.

**v0.3.4**

- Add support for python-json-pointer >= 0.6 (if you experienced

  "``AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'set_pointer'``", you

  should upgrade to this version).

**v0.3.3**

- add HTTPS support

- add 'Stringify JSON' keyword

- implicitly set correct 'Host' header
