python-curl

This is a basic implementation of curl in Python. This has been developed using httpbin for testing it supports the methods we want to test.

Supported Methods

GET

To perform a get request

$ python3 main.py --url https://eu.httpbin.org/get
> Connecting to  eu.httpbin.org
> Sending request GET HTTP/1.1
> Host:  eu.httpbin.org
> Accept: */*


{
  "args": {}, 
  "headers": {
    "Host": "eu.httpbin.org", 
    "X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-657ecfb8-217fe3c973968c59380f407d"
  }, 
  "origin": "105.234.162.40",
