Base proxy

Base class implementations for the synchronous and asynchronous proxy adapter implemntations.

This module contains classes that provide the common behaviour for the implementations of the proxy target and adaprers.

remote_get(path='', get_metadata=False)

Get data from the remote target.

This method requests data from the remote target by issuing a GET request to the target URL, and then updates the local proxy target data and status information according to the response. The request is sent to the target by the implementation-specific _send_request method.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
path

path to data on remote target

''
get_metadata

flag indicating if metadata is to be requested

False
