Use `requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/>`_ to talk HTTP via a UNIX domain socket
Usage
-----
Explicit
++++++++
You can use it by instantiating a special ``Session`` object:
.. code-block:: python
import json
import requests_unixsocket
session = requests_unixsocket.Session()
r = session.get('http+unix://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/info')
registry_config = r.json()['RegistryConfig']
print(json.dumps(registry_config, indent=4))
Implicit (monkeypatching)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Monkeypatching allows you to use the functionality in this module, while making
minimal changes to your code. Note that in the above example we had to
instantiate a special ``requests_unixsocket.Session`` object and call the
``get`` method on that object. Calling ``requests.get(url)`` (the easiest way
to use requests and probably very common), would not work. But we can make it
work by doing monkeypatching.
You can monkeypatch globally:
.. code-block:: python
import requests_unixsocket
requests_unixsocket.monkeypatch()
r = requests.get('http+unix://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/info')
assert r.status_code == 200
or you can do it temporarily using a context manager:
.. code-block:: python
import requests_unixsocket
with requests_unixsocket.monkeypatch():
r = requests.get('http+unix://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/info')
assert r.status_code == 200
Abstract namespace sockets
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To connect to an `abstract namespace
socket <https://utcc.utoronto.ca/~cks/space/blog/python/AbstractUnixSocketsAndPeercred>`_
(Linux only), prefix the name with a NULL byte (i.e.: `\0`) - e.g.:
.. code-block:: python
import requests_unixsocket
session = requests_unixsocket.Session()
res = session.get('http+unix://\0test_socket/get')
print(res.text)
For an example program that illustrates this, see
``examples/abstract_namespace.py`` in the git repo. Since abstract namespace
sockets are specific to Linux, the program will only work on Linux.
