Question

I would like to know how to set the useragent in all SOAP request with suds in Python, including WSDL get.
Indeed, on the following code :
Client(‘http://…’)
The WSDL is get with the default Python useragent.

The WSDL is available on the server only for specific useragent.

Thank you

I don’t know whether that’s the easiest way to do it, but it is certainly possible to do using httplib2 (this trick also gives you keep-alive connections) :

from suds.transport import Transport
import httplib2, StringIO

class Httplib2Response:
    pass
class Httplib2Transport(Transport):

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        Transport.__init__(self)
        self.http = httplib2.Http()

    def send(self, request):
        url = request.url
        message = request.message
        headers = request.headers
        headers['User-Agent']='XYZ'
        response = Httplib2Response()
        response.headers, response.message = self.http.request(url,
                "PUT", body=message, headers=headers)

        return response

    def open(self, request):
        response = Httplib2Response()
        request.headers['User-Agent']='XYZ'

        response.headers, response.message = self.http.request(request.url, "GET",
            body=request.message, headers=request.headers)
        return StringIO.StringIO(response.message)

And then you need to pass the transport class to the suds.client:

http = Httplib2Transport()
client = Client(url,transport=http)
