NAME

       prequest - 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.
