HTTP status codes

[Carl]

Web2py supports a subset of HTTP status codes as listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

The LinkedIn service I am using employs throttling and I'd like to throw a 429 Too Many Requests exception.

Can this status code, along with other missing codes, be added to web2py in gluon/http.py?

[Leonel Câmara]

I guess you could add 429 to gluon.http definitions in your model and then use it, but I haven't tried it

Something like thin in your model

from gluon import http

http.defined_status[429] = 'Too Many Request'

And then in your controllers

raise HTTP(429)

[Leonel Câmara]

Watch for the typos in the previous posts I must need more coffee or something

thanks Leonel, I'm refactoring server calls at the mo, but I'll try that straight afterwards.

works sweetly.

from gluon import HTTP

from gluon.http import defined_status

if not(429 in defined_status):

    defined_status[429] = 'Too Many Requests'

raise HTTP(429, "Too Many Requests")

More simply, I think you can also just do this:

raise HTTP('429 Too Many Requests')

ah... the tyranny of /w

this works... HTTP('429 Too_Many_Requests')

In glucon/http.py HTTP regex_status isn't friendly to messages with whitespace (or hyphens)

Thanks for pointing me to this. One line simple line beats 5 simple lines! :)

 

[Anthony]

Oops. Actually, I think this should be fixed -- I'll open an issue.

Anthony

[Carl Roach]

thanks

[Niphlod]

PS: having the missing one in gluon/http.py shouldn't be a performance-penalty.
Send a patch for the one missing but avoid being "too much off the standards" (like a "750 Didn't bother to compile it")

[Anthony]

There's more than just one missing -- http://www.iana.org/assignments/http-status-codes/http-status-codes.xml lists 28 4xx codes alone. Perhaps we should add some of them explicitly, but we should also make it possible to raise other codes.

Anthony

[Niphlod]

Yep, let me be clearer: +1 on giving the possibility to raise whatever you may find useful but if gluon/http.py misses some standard ones, we should include them.

[Carl Roach]

The existing code makes it possible to raise any 3-digit status code.

raise HTTP('xxx Messsage_text')

though, see above post, spaces aren't allowed in Message_text in current regex.

[Michele Comitini]

Shouldn't be:

HTTP(750, 'Make my day')

i.e. with the code as int and a description as str?

Two parameters for supported codes, but check http.py to() code and you'll see parsing present for the "compressed" parameter I described.

[Michele Comitini]

you are right! that's horrible

I would put a new parameter

HTTP(status, body='', status_msg='')

inside the __init__:

if status_msg:

   defined_status[status] = status_msg

2013/5/1 Carl Roach <m...@carlroach.com>

[Anthony]

HTTP(750, 'Make my day')

No, the second argument is the response body, not the status code description. Currently, there is no way to specify a separate text description for a numeric status code (though, as shown in other examples, you can have a string status that includes both the code and the description -- but at the moment, spaces are not allowed in the description).
