Mocking a 301 with requests

Hi @emillon,

it looks like there are no problems at all, both HTTPretty and requests are working fine.

The "problem" is that requests always follow redirects automatically, so you would need to do something like this:

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import requests
from sure import expect
from httpretty import httprettified, HTTPretty


@httprettified
def test_expand_tiny():
    url = 'http://tinyurl.com/deadbeef'
    target = 'http://google.fr/'

    HTTPretty.register_uri(HTTPretty.GET, url,
                           status=301,
                           location=target)

    HTTPretty.register_uri(HTTPretty.GET, target,
                           status=200,
                           body="it works!")

    r = requests.get(url)
    expect(r.url).to.equal(target)
    expect(r.text).to.equal("it works!")

Oh, my bad. Does it mean that when httpretty is enabled, every HTTP request through socket will be blocked if there's no handler for it ? That's exactly what I need. Thanks !

No, HTTPretty will send unexpected requests to a real socket.
