prequest3 \,config_uri path_info \/[\,args/options\/]

Run a request for the described application. This command makes an artifical request to a web application that uses a PasteDeploy (.ini) configuration file for the server and application. Use "prequest config.ini /path" to request "/path". Use "prequest --method=\,POST\/ config.ini \,/path\/ < data" to do a POST with the given request body. Use "prequest --method=\,PUT\/ config.ini \,/path\/ < data" to do a PUT with the given request body. Use "prequest --method=\,PATCH\/ config.ini \,/path\/ < data" to do a PATCH with the given request body. Use "prequest --method=\,OPTIONS\/ config.ini /path" to do an OPTIONS request. Use "prequest --method=\,PROPFIND\/ config.ini /path" to do a PROPFIND request. If the path is relative (doesn't begin with "/") it is interpreted as relative to "/". The path passed to this script should be URL-quoted. The path can be succeeded with a query string (e.g. `/path?a=1&=b2'). The variable "environ['paste.command_request']" will be set to "True" in the request's WSGI environment, so your application can distinguish these calls from normal requests.
