You can access POST body in `do_POST` method like this:

for **python 2**

    content_len = int(self.headers.getheader(&#39;content-length&#39;, 0))

for **python 3**

    content_len = int(self.headers.get(&#39;Content-Length&#39;))

and then read the data

    post_body = self.rfile.read(content_len)

I&#39;ve started to write few jQuery plugins and figured it&#39;d be nice to setup my IDE with a jQuery plugin template. 

I have been reading some articles and posts on this site related to plugin convention, design, etc.. and thought I&#39;d try and consolidate all of that.

Below is my template, I am looking to use it frequently so was keen to ensure it generally conforms to jQuery plugin design convention and whether the idea of having multiple internal methods (or even its general design) would impact performance and be prone to memory issues.


    (function($)
    {
    	var PLUGIN_NAME = &quot;myPlugin&quot;; // TODO: Plugin name goes here.
    	var DEFAULT_OPTIONS =
    	{
    		// TODO: Default options for plugin.
    	};
    	var pluginInstanceIdCount = 0;
    
    	var I = function(/*HTMLElement*/ element)
    	{
    		return new Internal(element);
    	};
    
    	var Internal = function(/*HTMLElement*/ element)
    	{
    		this.$elem = $(element);
    		this.elem = element;
    		this.data = this.getData();
    		
    		// Shorthand accessors to data entries:
    		this.id = this.data.id;
    		this.options = this.data.options;
    	};
    
    	/**
    	 * Initialises the plugin.
    	 */
    	Internal.prototype.init = function(/*Object*/ customOptions)
    	{
    		var data = this.getData();
    
    		if (!data.initialised)
    		{
    			data.initialised = true;
    			data.options = $.extend(DEFAULT_OPTIONS, customOptions);
    
    			// TODO: Set default data plugin variables.
    			// TODO: Call custom internal methods to intialise your plugin.

    	{

    	 * The returned namespace is unique for this widget
    	 * since it could bind listeners to other elements

    	 */
    	Internal.prototype.getEventNs = function(/*boolean*/ includeDot)
    	{
    	 	return (includeDot !== false ? &quot;.&quot; : &quot;&quot;) + PLUGIN_NAME + &quot;_&quot; + this.id;
    	};
    
    	/**

In the `do_POST()` method of `BaseHTTPRequestHandler` I can access the headers of the POST request simply via the property `self.headers`. But I can&#39;t find a similar property for accessing the body of the message. How do I then go about doing that?

<p>In the <code>do_POST()</code> method of <code>BaseHTTPRequestHandler</code> I can access the headers of the POST request simply via the property <code>self.headers</code>. But I can't find a similar property for accessing the body of the message. How do I then go about doing that?</p>


In python (and some other languages) I have learned, that the name of a class should be written in small letters except for the first letter of each word, which should be a capital letter. Example:

    class FooBar:
        ...

A class should go in a file, named the same as the class. In this example it would be a file `foobar.py`. If I want to import the class `foo` somewhere I have to do this:

    from foobar import FooBar

This convention confuses me a little. My intuition tells me, that if the filename indicates a class, than it should be written with the first letter in capitals, too, like `FooBar.py`. This don&#39;t look pretty in file names. Perhaps someone could tell me what is the *standard convention* for this?

I hope I made my question understandable. :-)

Association between naming classes and naming their files in python (convention?)

I have a python program I want to install into my virtualenv - it&#39;s a zip package that I need to unzip and then run a setup.py program - but my question is more regarding how to get these unzipped files into my virtualenv so that the package gets installed into the virtualenv&#39;s site-packages folder?

I can also install from inside my virtualenv using `pip install &lt;package name&gt;`, but for some reason, the package that PIP downloads is out of date.

So - can someone tell me a few easy steps for installing a package manually?

So far I have the basic commands to load up the Virtualenv:

    -bash-3.2$ source ~/.bashrc
    -bash-3.2$ workon test
    (test)-bash-3.2$ //Now I&#39;m working on my virtualenv, but where do I go after this??

So - does it matter where I unzip the python package/program to - or should I be logged in to the virtualenv first before unzipping? After I load up the virtualenv and I&#39;m inside using it with the &#39;workon test&#39; command, will any python package I install, regardless of the directory I find it, install itself into the proper virtualenv&#39;s site-packages folder?

Option 1 is to unzip the python program into /home/username/tmp - then log into my virtualenv, navigate to that folder and run the setup.py program - assuming that the virtualenv will transfer all relevant files to it&#39;s own site-packages folder.

OR scenario 2 is to unzip the files directly into site-packages, and run it from there (after logging in to the virtualenv), etc

Thank you for helping a Python clutz with this!

I know the `--verbose` or `-v` from several tools and I&#39;d like to implement this into some of my own scripts and tools.

I thought of placing:

    if verbose:
        print ...

through my source code, so that if a user passes the `-v` option, the variable `verbose` will be set to `True` and the text will be printed.

Is this the right approach or is there a more common way?

Addition: I am not asking for a way to implement the parsing of arguments. That I know how it is done. I am only interested specially in the verbose option.

I have a list of strings in my code;

    A = [&#39;a1&#39;, &#39;a2&#39;, &#39;a3&#39; ...]
    B = [&#39;b1&#39;, &#39;b2&#39;, &#39;b3&#39; ...]

and I want to print them separated by a linebreak, like this:

    &gt;a1
    b1
    &gt;a2
    b2
    &gt;a3
    b3

I&#39;ve tried:

    print &#39;&gt;&#39; + A + &#39;/n&#39; + B

But /n isn&#39;t recognized like a line break.

How can I replace `foobar` with `foo123bar`? 

This doesn&#39;t work:

    &gt;&gt;&gt; re.sub(r&#39;(foo)&#39;, r&#39;\1123&#39;, &#39;foobar&#39;)
    &#39;J3bar&#39;

This works:

    &#39;foohibar&#39;

I think it&#39;s a common issue when having something like `\number`. Can anyone give me a hint on how to handle this?

I&#39;m running into a small problem at the end of the [Getting Started guide for `vagrant`][1]. I&#39;m working on a CentOS basebox that has Apache2 running (provisioning via Puppet). I&#39;ve set up port forwarding for web requests using the following line in `Vagrantfile`:

     config.vm.forward_port &quot;web&quot;, 80, 4567

But when I make requests to that port, they fail. The error reported by Safari is &#39;Safari can’t open the page “http://localhost:4567/” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection.&#39;

I did a `vagrant reload` and saw &quot;[default] -- web: 80 =&gt; 4567 (adapter 1)&quot; in the scroll, so where should I begin to troubleshoot this? Thanks.

What response code should be passed to client in case of following scenarios?

1. Invalid data passed while user registration like wrong email format
2. User name/ Email is already exists

I chose 403. I also found following that I feel can be used.

&gt;Wikipedia:

&gt; 412 Precondition Failed : 
&gt;     The server does not meet one of the preconditions that the requester
&gt; put on the request

Suggest code if I should use other than 403.

How can I make an outbound HTTP POST request, with data, in node.js?

How is an HTTP POST request made in node.js?

In RESTful style programming, we should use HTTP methods as our building blocks. I&#39;m a little confused though which methods match up to the classic CRUD methods. GET/Read and DELETE/Delete are obvious enough.

However, what is the difference between PUT/POST? Do they match one to one with Create and Update?

I&#39;m trying to set a timeout on an HTTP client that uses http.request with no luck. So far what I did is this:

    var options = { ... }
    var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
      // Usual stuff: on(data), on(end), chunks, etc...
    }

    /* This does not work TOO MUCH... sometimes the socket is not ready (undefined) expecially on rapid sequences of requests */
    req.socket.setTimeout(myTimeout);  
    req.socket.on(&#39;timeout&#39;, function() {
      req.abort();
    });

    req.write(&#39;something&#39;);
    req.end();

Any hints?

Is it possible to do a POST from just an `&lt;a&gt;` tag? I know anchor tags are usually just for GETs, and I know I can use javascript to do this (like in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/133925/javascript-post-request-like-a-form-submit) but to me that seems a little messy. Is there a way to do this with straight HTML?

I&#39;m trying to figure out how to POST JSON from Android by using HTTPClient. I&#39;ve been trying to figure this out for a while, I have found plenty of examples online, but I cannot get any of them to work.  I believe this is because of my lack of JSON/networking knowledge in general.  I know there are plenty of examples out there but could someone point me to an actual tutorial? I&#39;m looking for a step by step process with code and explanation of why you do each step, or of what that step does. It doesn&#39;t need to be a complicated, simple will suffice.

Again, I know there are a ton of examples out there, I&#39;m just really looking for an example with an explanation of what exactly is happening and why it is doing that way. 

If someone knows about a good Android book on this, then please let me know.

Thanks again for the help @terrance, here is the code I described below

    public void shNameVerParams() throws Exception{
		 String path = //removed
		 HashMap  params = new HashMap();
		 
		 params.put(new String(&quot;Name&quot;), &quot;Value&quot;); 
		 params.put(new String(&quot;Name&quot;), &quot;Value&quot;);
		 
		 try {
			HttpClient.SendHttpPost(path, params);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	 }



How to send POST request in JSON using HTTPClient in Android?

I&#39;m building a RESTful API using Zend Framework via the Zend_Rest_Route. For uploading of files, should I use PUT or POST to handle the process? I&#39;m trying to be as consistent as possible with the definition of the REST verbs. Please refer to: *[PUT or POST: The REST of the Story][1]*.

The way I understand this is that I should use PUT if and only if I&#39;m updating the full content of the specified resource. I&#39;ll have to know the exact URL to use PUT.  On the other hand, I should use POST if I&#39;m sending a command to the server to create a subordinate of the specified resource, using some server-side algorithm.

Let&#39;s assume this is a REST API for uploading images. Does that mean I should use POST if the server is to manipulate the image file (i.e. create thumbnail, resize, etc); and use PUT if I just want to save the raw image file to the server?

If I use PUT to handle a file upload, should the process be as follows:

 1. The user sends a GET request to retrieve the specific URL to upload the file by PUT.
 2. Then the user sends a PUT request to that URL.  
The file being uploaded is raw - exactly the one the user uploaded.

I&#39;m quite new to this stuff; so hopefully I&#39;m making sense here...

If you know the &quot;best&quot; way to do this, feel free to comment as well.

I am trying to make a BaseHTTPServer program. I prefer to use Python 3.3 or 3.2 for it. I find the doc hard to understand regarding what to import but tried changing the import from:

    from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer

to:

    from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer

and then the import works and the program start and awaits a GET request. BUT when the request arrives an exception is raised:

    File &quot;C:\Python33\lib\socket.py&quot;, line 317, in write return self._sock.send(b)
    TypeError: &#39;str&#39; does not support the buffer interface

Question: Is there a version of BaseHTTPServer or http.server that works out of the box with Python3.x or am I doing something wrong?

This is &quot;my&quot; program that I try running in Python 3.3 and 3.2:

    #!/usr/bin/python
    # from BaseHTTPServer import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer
    from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler,HTTPServer
    
    PORT_NUMBER = 8080
    
    # This class will handle any incoming request from
    # a browser 
    class myHandler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
    
        # Handler for the GET requests
        def do_GET(self):
            print   (&#39;Get request received&#39;)
            self.send_response(200)
            self.send_header(&#39;Content-type&#39;,&#39;text/html&#39;)
            self.end_headers()
            # Send the html message
            self.wfile.write(&quot;Hello World !&quot;)
            return

    try:
    	# Create a web server and define the handler to manage the
    	# incoming request
     	server = HTTPServer((&#39;&#39;, PORT_NUMBER), myHandler)
    	print (&#39;Started httpserver on port &#39; , PORT_NUMBER)
    
    	# Wait forever for incoming http requests
    	server.serve_forever()

    except KeyboardInterrupt:
    	print (&#39;^C received, shutting down the web server&#39;)
    	server.socket.close()

The Program work partly in Python2.7 but gives this exception after 2-8 requests:

    error: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
