MultiResponse

=============

A Python class for Django to provide mime type aware responses. This allows a client to receive different responses based on the HTTP "Accept" header they send. This is used in place of ``render_to_response`` or a manual ``HttpResponse``.

Requirements

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

  * Python 2.5+ (lower versions may work but are untested.)

  * Django 1.0+ (again, lower versions may work but are untested.)

  * mimeparse 0.1.2+ - http://code.google.com/p/mimeparse/

Sample Usage:

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

  from django.conf import settings

  from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

  from multiresponse import MultiResponse

  def index(request, extension):

      sample_people = [

          {'name': 'Daniel', 'age': 26},

          {'name': 'John', 'age': 26},

          {'name': 'Jane', 'age': 20},

          {'name': 'Bob', 'age': 35},

      ]

      mr = MultiResponse(request)

      mr.register('html', 'index.html')

      mr.register('xml', 'people.xml')

      mr.register('json', 'people.json')

      mr.register('txt', 'people.txt')

      return mr.render({

          'people': sample_people,

      })

Output

------

A HTTP GET to http://localhost:8000/ with a web browser would yield something like:

  HTTP/1.0 200 OK

  Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:39:53 GMT

  Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.5.1

  Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

  

  

      

          People

      

      

      

          
People

          

          


              

                  
Daniel

              

                  
John

              

                  
Jane

              

                  
Bob

              

          

      

  


However, a HTTP GET to http://localhost:8000/ via "curl -i -H 'Accept: application/xml' http://localhost:8000/" would yield:

  HTTP/1.0 200 OK

  Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:42:14 GMT

  Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.5.1

  Content-Type: application/xml; charset=utf-8

  

  

          

              Daniel

              26

          

          

              John

              26

          

          

              Jane

              20

          

          

              Bob

              35

          

  

And a HTTP GET to http://localhost:8000/ via Javascript might look like:

  HTTP/1.0 200 OK

  Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:42:47 GMT

  Server: WSGIServer/0.1 Python/2.5.1

  Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8

  {

      'people': [

              {'name': 'Daniel', 'age': '26'},

              {'name': 'John', 'age': '26'},

              {'name': 'Jane', 'age': '20'},

              {'name': 'Bob', 'age': '35'},

      ]

  }
