pymcurl 8.6.0.1
Manage outbound HTTP connections using Curl & CurlMulti
Description
mcurl is a Python wrapper for libcurl with a
high-level API that makes it easy to interact with the libcurl easy and multi
interfaces. It was originally created for the Px
proxy server which uses libcurl to handle upstream proxy authentication.
Usage
mcurl can be installed using pip:
pip install pymcurl
Binary packages are provided the following platforms:
aarch64-linux-gnu
aarch64-linux-musl
i686-linux-gnu
x86_64-linux-gnu
x86_64-linux-musl
x86_64-macos
x86_64-windows
mcurl leverages cffi to interface with libcurl
and all binary dependencies are sourced from binarybuilder.org.
auditwheel on Linux, delocate on MacOS and delvewheel on Windows are used to bundle
the shared libraries into the wheels.
Thanks to cffi
and Py_LIMITED_API,
these mcurl binaries should work on any Python from v3.2 onwards.
Easy interface
from mcurl import Curl
c = Curl('http://httpbin.org/get')
c.buffer()
ret = c.perform()
if ret == 0:
ret, resp = c.get_response()
headers = c.get_headers()
data = c.get_data()
print(f"Response: {resp}\n\n{headers}{data}")
Multi interface
from mcurl import Curl, MCurl
m = MCurl()
c1 = Curl('http://httpbin.org/get')
c1.buffer()
m.add(c1)
data = "test8192".encode("utf-8")
c2 = Curl('https://httpbin.org/post', 'POST')
c2.buffer(data=data)
c2.set_headers({"Content-Length": len(data)})
m.add(c2)
ret1 = m.do(c1)
ret2 = m.do(c2)
if ret1:
c1.get_response()
c1.get_headers()
c1.get_data()
print(f"Response: {c1.get_response()}\n\n{c1.get_headers()}{c1.get_data()}")
else:
print(f"Failed with error: {c1.errstr}")
if ret2:
c2.get_response()
c2.get_headers()
c2.get_data()
print(f"Response: {c2.get_response()}\n\n{c2.get_headers()}{c2.get_data()}")
else:
print(f"Failed with error: {c2.errstr}")
m.close()
libcurl API
The libcurl API can be directly accessed as is done
in mcurl if preferred.
from _libcurl_cffi import lib as libcurl
from _libcurl_cffi import ffi
url = "http://httpbin.org/get"
curl = ffi.new("char []", url.encode("utf-8"))
easy = libcurl.curl_easy_init()
libcurl.curl_easy_setopt(easy, libcurl.CURLOPT_URL, curl)
cerr = libcurl.curl_easy_perform(easy)

|
| bridge(self, client_rfile=None, client_wfile=None, client_hfile=None)
| Bridge curl reads/writes to sockets specified
|
| Reads POST/PATCH data from client_rfile
| Writes data back to client_wfile
| Writes headers back to client_hfile
|
| buffer(self, data=None)
| Setup buffers to bridge curl perform
|
| get_activesocket(self)
| Return active socket for this easy instance
|
| get_data(self, encoding='utf-8')
| Return data written by curl perform to buffer()
|
| encoding = "utf-8" by default, change or set to None if bytes preferred
|
| get_headers(self, encoding='utf-8')
| Return headers written by curl perform to buffer()
|
| encoding = "utf-8" by default, change or set to None if bytes preferred
|
| get_primary_ip(self)
| Return primary IP address of this easy instance
|
| get_response(self)
| Return response code of completed request
|
| perform(self)
| Perform the easy handle
|
| reset(self, url, method='GET', request_version='HTTP/1.1', connect_timeout=60)
| Reuse existing curl instance for another request
|
| set_auth(self, user, password=None, auth='ANY')
| Set proxy authentication info - call after set_proxy() to enable auth caching
|
| set_debug(self, enable=True)
| Enable debug output
| Call after set_proxy() and set_auth() to enable discovery and caching of proxy
| auth mechanism - libcurl does not provide an API to get this today - need to
| find it in sent header debug output

Building mcurl
mcurl is built using gcc on Linux, clang on MacOS and mingw-x64 on Windows. The
shared libraries are downloaded from binarybuilder.org
using jbb for Linux and Windows. MacOS packages the
libcurl binaries installed via brew.
build.sh can be used to build mcurl for all supported platforms including
Windows.
