import requests from ._compat import urljoin class BaseUrlSession(requests.Session): """A Session with a URL that all requests will use as a base. Let's start by looking at an example: .. code-block:: python >>> from requests_toolbelt import sessions >>> s = sessions.BaseUrlSession( ... base_url='https://example.com/resource/') >>> r = s.get('sub-resource/', params={'foo': 'bar'}) >>> print(r.request.url) https://example.com/resource/sub-resource/?foo=bar Our call to the ``get`` method will make a request to the URL passed in when we created the Session and the partial resource name we provide. We implement this by overriding the ``request`` method so most uses of a Session are covered. (This, however, precludes the use of PreparedRequest objects). .. note:: The base URL that you provide and the path you provide are **very** important. Let's look at another *similar* example .. code-block:: python >>> from requests_toolbelt import sessions >>> s = sessions.BaseUrlSession( ... base_url='https://example.com/resource/') >>> r = s.get('/sub-resource/', params={'foo': 'bar'}) >>> print(r.request.url) https://example.com/sub-resource/?foo=bar The key difference here is that we called ``get`` with ``/sub-resource/``, i.e., there was a leading ``/``. This changes how we create the URL because we rely on :mod:`urllib.parse.urljoin`. To override how we generate the URL, sub-class this method and override the ``create_url`` method. Based on implementation from https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/2554#issuecomment-109341010 """ base_url = None def __init__(self, base_url=None): if base_url: self.base_url = base_url super(BaseUrlSession, self).__init__() def request(self, method, url, *args, **kwargs): """Send the request after generating the complete URL.""" url = self.create_url(url) return super(BaseUrlSession, self).request( method, url, *args, **kwargs ) def create_url(self, url): """Create the URL based off this partial path.""" return urljoin(self.base_url, url)
