Transport adapter fort httpx to allow
file:// URI fetching in the local filesystem.
pip install httpx-file
httpx-file subclasses httpx.Client, so you can just replace httpx.Client
with httpx_file.Client to get the same behavior with added file:// protocol
support.
from httpx_file import Client
client = Client()
client.get('file:///etc/fstab)Or you can also mount FileTransport in a httpx.Client instance.
from httpx_file import FileTransport
from httpx import Client
client = Client(mounts={'file://': FileTransport()})
client.get('file:///etc/fstab)It is also possible to use httpx-file possibilities asynchronous way. To do this, you can just replace 'httpx.AsyncClient' with 'httpx_file.AsyncClient'.
from httpx_file import AsyncClient
# Taken from tests/test_transport.py
from pathlib import Path
THIS = Path(__file__)
async def test_async_client():
async_client = AsyncClient()
async_response = await async_client.get(THIS.as_uri())
assert async_response.content == THIS.read_bytes()Or you can also mount FileTransport in a httpx.AsyncClient instance.
from httpx_file import FileTransport
from httpx import AsyncClient
client = AsyncClient(mounts={'file://': FileTransport()})
client.get('file:///etc/fstab)
