Is there a simple way to convert a Response to an HTTP string; i.e.,
with headers and a body like it would send to the client?
I have a JSON backend view that sends an HTTP exception like this:
# HTTP 422, simulating a validation error
jreq = {"email": "m...@example.com", "errors": {"email": "Test error."}}
raise pyramid.httpexceptions.HTTPUnprocessableEntity(json=jreq)
The frontend makes an AJAX call using Backbone Model.save(), and in
the error callback the response is status 422 as it should be, but it
doesn't appear to contain the data. .responseJSON contains the kind of
things that appear on an exception page, and my data object doesn't
appear to be anywhere.
So I wrote a little Python program to see what the exception object
contains, and its '_app_iter' attribute contains the expected JSON.
Then I wanted to see what kind of HTTP document it would produce, and
I realized I don't know how to do that on the console without a WSGI
server.
I looked in the httpexceptions and response docs and didn't see any
related method. I then thought maybe it's just 'str()'. But 'str()'
returns "Unable to process the contained instructions". Curious. I
then looked at the 'wsgiref' docs but didn't see anything useful. Is
there a function or method that does this, or only a WSGI server has
the code?
Second, what is the solution to my underlying problem? I want to echo
back the input items and add an "errors" key containing the errors for
the invalid fields. I read that HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity is the
correct response to a request that contains syntactically valid JSON
but the data values are invalid.
