Header support in urllib or requests

[hansamann]

Looking at the urllib.urequest code, it seems there is no header support at all. That's the reason why my current request is failing. Is there a chance to get header support implemented soon?

import urllib.urequest
endpoint = 'https://api.yaas.io/hybris/oauth2/b1/token'
urlencoded = 'grant_type=client_credentials&scope=&client_id=xxx&client_secret=xxx'
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
response = urllib.urequest.urlopen(endpoint, data=urlencoded, method="POST")
json = response.read()

//FAILS - no Content-Type specified and the API does not seem to support it right now.

You can use urequests instead, which has support for headers.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. Let's see if this gets reported on github, so maintainers didn't forget to fix it .

Also, it seems that urllib.urequest does support headers:

Code: Select all

response = urllib.urequest.urlopen(endpoint, data=urlencoded, headers=headers, method="POST")

Arbitrary headers support has been added to urequests. Please test it and report results.
