Custom headers with pycurl

Question

Can I send a custom header like \"yaddayadda\" to the server with the pycurl request?

Answer 1

you can, with HTTPHEADER. just provide your custom headers as a list, like so:

header = ['test: yadayadayada', 'blahblahblah']

curl.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, header)

Answer 2

Try to use human_curl library https://github.com/Lispython/human_curl

custom_headers = (
('Test-Header', 'fwkjenwkljbnfkjqnewfrjven3lrf'),
('Another-Header', 'ifenwqnfe;wnfqfjlweqnnlf')
)

r = human_curl.get("http://stackoverflow.com",
                    headers=custom_headers)

Answer 3

I would code something like:

pycurl_connect = pycurl.Curl()
pycurl_connect.setopt(pycurl.URL, your_url)
pycurl_connect.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ['header_name1: header_value1',
                                          'header_name2: header_value2'])
pycurl_connect.perform()
