prequest(1) Python 2 Pyramid command

SYNOPSIS

prequest ,config_uri path_info /[,args/options/]

DESCRIPTION

Submit a HTTP request to a web application. This command makes an artifical request to a web application that uses a PasteDeploy (.ini) configuration file for the server and application. Use "prequest config.ini /path" to request "/path". Use "prequest --method=,POST/ config.ini ,/path/ < data" to do a POST with the given request body. Use "prequest --method=,PUT/ config.ini ,/path/ < data" to do a PUT with the given request body. Use "prequest --method=,PATCH/ config.ini ,/path/ < data" to do a PATCH with the given request body. Use "prequest --method=,OPTIONS/ config.ini /path" to do an OPTIONS request. Use "prequest --method=,PROPFIND/ config.ini /path" to do a PROPFIND request. If the path is relative (doesn't begin with "/") it is interpreted as relative to "/". The path passed to this script should be URL-quoted. The path can be succeeded with a query string (e.g. `/path?a=1&=b2'). The variable "environ['paste.command_request']" will be set to "True" in the request's WSGI environment, so your application can distinguish these calls from normal requests.
