How to send a POST request using django?

Question

I dont want to use html file, but only with django I have to make POST request.

Just like urllib2 sends a get request.

Answer 1

Here's how you'd write the accepted answer's example using python-requests:

post_data = {'name': 'Gladys'} response = requests.post('http://example.com', data=post_data) content = response.content 

Much more intuitive. See the Quickstart for more simple examples.

Answer 2

In Python 2, a combination of methods from urllib2 and urllib will do the trick. Here is how I post data using the two:

post_data = [('name','Gladys'),]     # a sequence of two element tuples result = urllib2.urlopen('http://example.com', urllib.urlencode(post_data)) content = result.read() 

urlopen() is a method you use for opening urls. urlencode() converts the arguments to percent-encoded string.
