InvalidSchema when trying to connect to localhost [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to perform a post request with the python messages library. I have

>>> import requests
>>> p = { 
'email':'*****',
'passwd':'*****',
}
>>> r = requests.post('127.0.0.1:8000/mysite/',data=p)

Here is the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\envs\r1\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 88, in post
    return request('post', url, data=data, **kwargs)
  File "c:\envs\r1\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 44, in request
    return session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs)
  File "c:\envs\r1\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 383, in request
    resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs)
  File "c:\envs\r1\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 481, in send
    adapter = self.get_adapter(url=request.url)
  File "c:\envs\r1\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 526, in get_adapter
    raise InvalidSchema("No connection adapters were found for '%s'" % url)
InvalidSchema: No connection adapters were found for '127.0.0.1:8000/mysite/'

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Your URL is missing the scheme; use http://127.0.0.1:8000/mysite/:

r = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:8000/mysite/', data=p)
