libxslt_web - XSLT Extension Functions for the HTML Web
This is a set of XSLT extension functions that give access to HTTP mechanisms and HTML
documents (even those that are invalid) on the Web.
In particular, it offers;
- GET and POST support, with control over the POST body and content-type
- Automatic HTTP cookie and redirect handling
- SSL (when supported by urllib2)
The functions exposed are:
get(uri) - GET the uri; returns a string of the response representation.
post(uri, body, [content-type]) - post the body to the URI; returns a string of
the response representation.
tidy_parse(instr) - parse html and return a nodeset.
to_string(node) - return the node serialised as a string.
form_encode(node) - return the arguments serialised as a urlencoded form.
Responses to HTTP methods return a nodeset with an arbitrary number of 'header' elements,
one for each HTTP response header, and a single 'body' element. The header element
has a single attribute, 'name', which contains the lowercased header field-name. For example;
<header name="cache-control">Private</header>
<header name="date">Tue, 18 Oct 2005 22:38:52 GMT</header>
<body>... body content here...</body>
Forms are similarly handled;
<arg name="username">my_username</arg>
<arg name="password">my_password</arg>
and passed to form_encode.
See the test() function for a demonstration.
Requires Python 2.4, libxml2, libxslt and mxTidy.
TODO:
- return respnose status
- PUT and DELETE
- authentication support (basic, digest)
- base64 of binary content (?)
