dalton is a httplib injection library for recording and playing back HTTP interactions.
Dalton monkey-patches two methods of httplib's HTTPConnection class to intercept request/response interactions, and can play them back based on a Dalton recording. To ease testing, the recording is generated Python code to ease in customization of the response and to allow for branches in the playback path.
Monkey-patched methods of HTTPConnection:
- request
- getresponse
Using the more verbose method to send/recieve requests with HTTPConnection is not supported at this time.
Note: This is a first and early release, mainly so that I could use it with mechanize to record/playback interactions. As mechanize only uses the request/getresponse API on HTTPConnection, I have no interest in adding intercept to the rest. Please feel free to fork this to add additional features as I don't plan on adding them myself (though I will happily pull bug fixes and feature additions with unit tests).
Warning: Dalton uses inspect.currentframe magic to derive the caller which may only work on CPython (PyPy and Jython is untested).
