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.
