Using the test client API for integration tests?

[Yoz Grahame]

At my company we're already successfully using the test client API for
our unit tests. However, we'd like to use those same tests for
integration tests in staging - i.e. making full HTTP calls over
sockets through our full LB + Apache + mod_wsgi setup.

Does anyone know of a client lib that exposes the same interface as
the Django test client (so that we can keep using those same tests for
local in-process testing) but talks full HTTP?

Check out httplib2, it's the most popular library for making HTTP requests in Python (there are like 3 seperate modules in the stdlib you can use for it also, urllib, urllib2, and httplib, but I think httplib2 is best).

Yeah, I've been looking at httplib2 for this, with a view to wrapping
it in a proxy that provides the Django test client interface. Just
wondering if someone else has done that already.
