Custom headers with pycurl

Question

Can I send a custom header like "yaddayadda" to the server with the pycurl request?

I would code something like:

pycurl_connect = pycurl.Curl()
pycurl_connect.setopt(pycurl.URL, your_url)
pycurl_connect.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, ['header_name1: header_value1',
                                          'header_name2: header_value2'])
pycurl_connect.perform()

how about multiple headers? Like a list? – codersofthedark Sep 04 '12 at 07:03
why a pseudo-dictionary instead of a real dictionary? ['key: val', 'key: val'] vs {'key': 'val', 'key': 'val'}... – JayRugMan Jul 05 '23 at 15:30

you can, with HTTPHEADER. just provide your custom headers as a list, like so:

header = ['test: yadayadayada', 'blahblahblah']

curl.setopt(pycurl.HTTPHEADER, header)

Try to use human_curl library https://github.com/Lispython/human_curl

custom_headers = (
('Test-Header', 'fwkjenwkljbnfkjqnewfrjven3lrf'),
('Another-Header', 'ifenwqnfe;wnfqfjlweqnnlf')
)

r = human_curl.get("http://stackoverflow.com",
                    headers=custom_headers)

This does not seem to support Python 3 – Gurgeh Apr 01 '17 at 12:44
