$ prequest --help
Usage: prequest config_uri path_info [args/options]
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.
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-n NAME, --app-name=NAME
Load the named application from the config file
(default 'main')
--header=NAME:VALUE Header to add to request (you can use this option
multiple times)
-d, --display-headers
Display status and headers before the response body
-m METHOD, --method=METHOD
Request method type (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE,
PROPFIND, OPTIONS)
