WSGI application in place of a real URI for testing

Testing a WSGI application sometimes involves starting a server at a local host and port, then pointing your test code to that address. Instead, this library lets you intercept calls to any specific host/port combination and redirect them into a WSGI application importable by your test program. Thus, you can avoid spawning multiple processes or threads to test your Web app.

wsgi_intercept works with a variety of HTTP clients in Python 2.7, 3.5 and beyond, and in pypy.

  • urllib2
  • urllib.request
  • httplib
  • http.client
  • httplib2
  • requests
  • urllib3

wsgi_intercept works by replacing httplib.HTTPConnection with a subclass, wsgi_intercept.WSGI_HTTPConnection. This class then redirects specific server/port combinations into a WSGI application by emulating a socket. If no intercept is registered for the host and port requested, those requests are passed on to the standard handler.
