Thanks - that's exactly what I was looking for.
*But note* when using FileBodyProducer(StringIO(json.dumps(~blah))) -- I
still see a content-length in the request header as it's received by
twisted. Am I correct to assume the request is agnostic...meaning it's
shaped the same for twisted as it is for apache.
Headers({'host': ['localhost:8080'], 'connection': ['close'],
'content-length': ['671'], 'user-agent': ['PassengerTest']})
from twisted.web import server, resource
from twisted.internet import reactor
class Simple(resource.Resource):
isLeaf = True
def render_POST(self, request):
print request.requestHeaders
return request.content.getvalue()
site = server.Site(Simple())
reactor.listenTCP(8080, site)
reactor.run()
