Python RESTful Client

A Python RESTful API client is provided along with a rest test library to aid in test development of RESTful services.

Example RESTful Client Program:

>>> import urllib2
>>> import json

>>> request = urllib2.Request("https://zfsssa.example:215/api/access/v1", "")
>>> request.add_header("X-Auth-User", "rest_user")
>>> request.add_header("X-Auth-Key", "letmein")
>>> response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
>>> response.getcode()
201

>>> info = response.info()
>>>
        opener = urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.HTTPHandler)
>>> opener.addheaders = [("X-Auth-Session", info.getheader("X-Auth-Session")),
... ('Content-Type', 'application/json'), ('Accept', 'appplication/json')]

The opener can then be used to open requests that are already pre-authenticated and ready to send/receive JSON data.
