I thought it would be useful to have a `get_addr()` method available on request objects, similar to the `get_host()` provided by Django. This middleware will add a `get_addr()` method to requests which uses the `X-Forwarded-For` header (useful if you're behind a proxy) if it's present and you have the `USE_X_FORWARDED_FOR` header set to `True` (default is `False`) and otherwise will use the `REMOTE_ADDR` environment variable. Note that if you are *not* behind a proxy and have `USE_X_FORWARDED_FOR` set to `True`, then clients can spoof their IP by simply setting the `X-Forwarded-For header`.

Testing low-level functionality sometimes requires a WSGIRequest object. An example of this is testing template tags.
This will monkey-patch the test Client object to return WSGIRequest objects
Normal Django behavior:
>>> client.get('/')
<HttpResponse >
With this code, get the request object:
>>> client.request_from.get('/')
<WSGIRequest >
Installation:
For this to work, you simply need to import the contents of this file.
If you name this file `clientrequestpatch.py`, do this inside your Django tests.
from django.test.testcases import TestCase
from myproject.test import clientrequestpatch

This is an update to Simon Willison's snippet http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/963/, along with one of the comments in that snippet.
This class lets you create a Request object that's gone through all the middleware. Suitable for unit testing when you need to modify something on the request directly, or pass in a mock object.
(note: see http://labix.org/mocker for details on how to mock requests for testing)
Example on how to use:
from django.test import TestCase
from yourapp import your_view
from yourutils import RequestFactory
class YourTestClass(TestCase):
def setUp(self):
pass
def tearDown(self):
pass
# Create your own request, which you can modify, instead of using self.client.
def test_your_view(self):
# Create your request object
rf = RequestFactory()
request = rf.get('/your-url-here/')
# ... modify the request to your liking ...
response = your_view(request)
self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)
Suggestions/improvements are welcome. :)

The inbuilt test client can be used to only test single domain applications ie no support for supplying absolute URLs.
But there are cases where one might like to test against URL rewrites, external domains/services like OpenID, OAuth etc.
This client has an external dependency on httplib2, to maintain the sessions (cookie-based). The API is exactly similar to the inbuilt test client.
>>> from client import TestClient
>>> c = TestClient()
>>> resp = c.get("http://www.google.com/")
>>> resp.status_code
200
**Note**: Unlike the built-in test client, this test client cannot access the template and context attributes from the response even if testing a local application.
If you have this as your base class for all unit tests you can do the following:
class TestViews(BaseTestCase):
def test_generated_stats(self):
"test that certain stuff in the response"
...create some content for testing or use fixtures...
response = self.client.get('/some/page/')
# At this point response.content is a huge string filled with HTML tags and
# "junk" that you don't need for testing the content thus making it difficult
# to debug the generated HTML because it so huge.
# So we can zoom in on the <div id="stats>...</div> node
html = self._zoom_html(response.content, '#stats')
# the variable 'html' will now be something like this:
"""
<div id="stats">
<p>
<strong>2</strong> students<br/>
<em>1</em> warning.
</p>
</div>
"""
# This makes it easier to debug the response and easier to test
# against but the HTML might still be in the way so this would fail:
self.assertTrue('2 students' in html) # will fail
# To strip away all html use _strip_html()
content = self._strip_html(html)
# Now this will work
self.assertTrue('2 students' in content) # will work
It works for me and I find this very useful so I thought I'd share it.
