Functions to operate on Pyramid requests.

cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.requests.decompress_request(request: Request) None[source]

Reverses anything specified in Content-Encoding, modifying the request in place.

cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.requests.gen_accept_encoding_definitions(accept_encoding: str) Generator[str, None, None][source]

For a given HTTP Accept-Encoding field value, generate encoding definitions. An example might be:

from cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.compression import *
accept_encoding = "br;q=1.0, gzip;q=0.8, *;q=0.1"
print(list(gen_encoding_definitions(accept_encoding)))

which gives

['br;q=1.0', 'gzip;q=0.8', '*;q=0.1']
cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.requests.gen_accept_encodings(accept_encoding: str) Generator[str, None, None][source]

For a given HTTP Accept-Encoding field value, generate encodings. An example might be:

from cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.compression import *
accept_encoding = "br;q=1.0, gzip;q=0.8, *;q=0.1"
print(list(gen_encodings(accept_encoding)))

which gives

['br', 'gzip', '*']
cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.requests.gen_content_encodings(request: Request) Generator[str, None, None][source]

Generates content encodings in the order they are specified – that is, the order in which they were applied.

cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.requests.gen_content_encodings_reversed(request: Request) Generator[str, None, None][source]

Generates content encodings in reverse order – that is, in the order required to reverse them.

cardinal_pythonlib.pyramid.requests.request_accepts_gzip(request: Request) bool[source]

Does the request specify an Accept-Encoding header that includes gzip?
