Writing an HTTP query with Tornado?

Question

Can I use the Tornado facilities to write HTTP client queries? As opposed to using the http.client module in the standard library.

What would be the equivalent Tornado code for:

curl 'http://localhost:2222/foo?bar=1'

Answer 1

The literal equivalent is

python -m tornado.httpclient 'http://localhost:2222/foo?bar=1'

Or in a coroutine

print (yield AsyncHTTPClient().fetch('http://localhost:2222/foo?bar=1')).body
