Session

class requezts.Session(net_id: int, node_path: Optional[str] = None)

Bases: requests.sessions.Session

Context manager class built on requests.sessions.Session that uses libzt sockets. Manages:
- ZeroTier node state
- Cookie persistence
- Connection pooling
- Configuration

Note: Due to current limitations of libzt, requezts can only manage one ZeroTier network node per process.

Parameters
  • net_id – ZeroTier network ID (64-bit unsigned integer, e.g. 0x0123456789abcdef)

  • node_path – (optional) Path in filesystem of node configuration (will be created if not already existing)

auth

Default Authentication tuple or object to attach to Request.

cert

SSL client certificate default, if String, path to ssl client cert file (.pem). If Tuple, (‘cert’, ‘key’) pair.

close() None

Disconnect from ZeroTier network and bring node offline.

cookies

A CookieJar containing all currently outstanding cookies set on this session. By default it is a RequestsCookieJar, but may be any other cookielib.CookieJar compatible object.

Event-handling hooks.

is_open() bool

Check if Session is open (connected to ZeroTier network).

Return type

bool

max_redirects

Maximum number of redirects allowed. If the request exceeds this limit, a TooManyRedirects exception is raised. This defaults to requests.models.DEFAULT_REDIRECT_LIMIT, which is 30.

merge_environment_settings(url, proxies, stream, verify, cert)

Check the environment and merge it with some settings.

Return type

dict

mount(prefix, adapter)

Registers a connection adapter to a prefix.

Parameters
  • url – URL for the new Request object.

  • **kwargs – Optional arguments that request takes.

Return type

requests.Response

params

Dictionary of querystring data to attach to each Request. The dictionary values may be lists for representing multivalued query parameters.

patch(url, data=None, **kwargs)

Sends a PATCH request. Returns Response object.

Parameters
  • url – URL for the new Request object.

  • data – (optional) Dictionary, list of tuples, bytes, or file-like object to send in the body of the Request.

  • **kwargs – Optional arguments that request takes.

Return type

requests.Response

post(url, data=None, json=None, **kwargs)

Sends a POST request. Returns Response object.

Parameters
  • url – URL for the new Request object.

  • data – (optional) Dictionary, list of tuples, bytes, or file-like object to send in the body of the Request.

  • json – (optional) json to send in the body of the Request.

  • **kwargs – Optional arguments that request takes.

Return type

requests.Response

prepare_request(request)

Constructs a PreparedRequest for transmission and returns it. The PreparedRequest has settings merged from the Request instance and those of the Session.

Parameters

requestRequest instance to prepare with this session’s settings.

Return type

requests.PreparedRequest

proxies

Dictionary mapping protocol or protocol and host to the URL of the proxy (e.g. {‘http’: ‘foo.bar:3128’, ‘http://host.name’: ‘foo.bar:4012’}) to be used on each Request.

put(url, data=None, **kwargs)

Sends a PUT request. Returns Response object.

Parameters
  • url – URL for the new Request object.

  • data – (optional) Dictionary, list of tuples, bytes, or file-like object to send in the body of the Request.

  • **kwargs – Optional arguments that request takes.

Return type

requests.Response

rebuild_auth(prepared_request, response)

When being redirected we may want to strip authentication from the request to avoid leaking credentials. This method intelligently removes and reapplies authentication where possible to avoid credential loss.

rebuild_method(prepared_request, response)

When being redirected we may want to change the method of the request based on certain specs or browser behavior.

rebuild_proxies(prepared_request, proxies)

This method re-evaluates the proxy configuration by considering the environment variables. If we are redirected to a URL covered by NO_PROXY, we strip the proxy configuration. Otherwise, we set missing proxy keys for this URL (in case they were stripped by a previous redirect).

This method also replaces the Proxy-Authorization header where necessary.

Return type

dict

request(method, url, params=None, data=None, headers=None, cookies=None, files=None, auth=None, timeout=None, allow_redirects=True, proxies=None, hooks=None, stream=None, verify=None, cert=None, json=None)

Constructs a Request, prepares it and sends it. Returns Response object.

Parameters
  • method – method for the new Request object.

  • url – URL for the new Request object.

  • params – (optional) Dictionary or bytes to be sent in the query string for the Request.

  • data – (optional) Dictionary, list of tuples, bytes, or file-like object to send in the body of the Request.

  • json – (optional) json to send in the body of the Request.

  • headers – (optional) Dictionary of HTTP Headers to send with the Request.

  • cookies – (optional) Dict or CookieJar object to send with the Request.

  • files – (optional) Dictionary of 'filename': file-like-objects for multipart encoding upload.

  • auth – (optional) Auth tuple or callable to enable Basic/Digest/Custom HTTP Auth.

  • timeout (float or tuple) – (optional) How long to wait for the server to send data before giving up, as a float, or a (connect timeout, read timeout) tuple.

  • allow_redirects (bool) – (optional) Set to True by default.

  • proxies – (optional) Dictionary mapping protocol or protocol and hostname to the URL of the proxy.

  • stream – (optional) whether to immediately download the response content. Defaults to False.

  • verify – (optional) Either a boolean, in which case it controls whether we verify the server’s TLS certificate, or a string, in which case it must be a path to a CA bundle to use. Defaults to True. When set to False, requests will accept any TLS certificate presented by the server, and will ignore hostname mismatches and/or expired certificates, which will make your application vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Setting verify to False may be useful during local development or testing.

  • cert – (optional) if String, path to ssl client cert file (.pem). If Tuple, (‘cert’, ‘key’) pair.

Return type

requests.Response

resolve_redirects(resp, req, stream=False, timeout=None, verify=True, cert=None, proxies=None, yield_requests=False, **adapter_kwargs)

Receives a Response. Returns a generator of Responses or Requests.

send(request, **kwargs)

Send a given PreparedRequest.

Return type

requests.Response

should_strip_auth(old_url, new_url)

Decide whether Authorization header should be removed when redirecting

stream

Stream response content default.

trust_env

Trust environment settings for proxy configuration, default authentication and similar.

verify

SSL Verification default. Defaults to True, requiring requests to verify the TLS certificate at the remote end. If verify is set to False, requests will accept any TLS certificate presented by the server, and will ignore hostname mismatches and/or expired certificates, which will make your application vulnerable to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks. Only set this to False for testing.
