Hi,

Example getting the body of an HTML page and display it to the terminal. The
HTTP query is invalid, the Host header is missing, but supporting HTTP/1.0 and
the connected mode would make the example more complex.
Eventlet version:
---
import eventlet
from eventlet.green import socket
def getbody(url, limit=1024):
c = socket.socket()
ip = socket.gethostbyname(url)
c.connect((ip, 80))
c.sendall('HEAD /\r\n\r\n')
body = c.recv(limit)
return body
body = getbody('www.python.org')
print(body)
---
Trollius version:
---
import asyncio
import logging; logging.basicConfig()
from asyncio import Return
import socket
@asyncio.coroutine
def getbody(url):
reader, writer = yield asyncio.open_connection(url, 80)
writer.write('HEAD /\r\n\r\n')
# yield writer.drain()
body = yield reader.read()
raise Return(body)
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
body = loop.run_until_complete(getbody('www.python.org'))
print(body)
loop.close()
---
Remarks:
- no special "sendall" method: writer.write() always write all data, and it's
the same name for any kind of transport (socket, SSL socket, pipe, etc.)
- open_connection() accepts directly an hostname. It resolves the hostname
asynchronously (call socket.gethostbyname in a pool of threads)
- it's possible to call reader.read() with no limit: in this case, read()
stops when the server closes the connection. Using eventlet, you have to buffer
manually. There is also a convinient readline() buffer which reads until it
gets a newline character ("\n")
- run_until_complete() is only used in short examples, usually run_forever()
is preferred, something will call loop.stop() to stop the loop
You can uncomment "writer.drain()" to wait until all data are sent to the
server. Otherwise, it will be done in background asynchronously.
