logging.handlers.HTTPHandler

class logging.handlers.HTTPHandler(host, url, method='GET', secure=False, credentials=None, context=None)

Returns a new instance of the HTTPHandler class. The host can be of the form host:port, should you need to use a specific port number. If no method is specified, GET is used. If secure is true, a HTTPS connection will be used. The context parameter may be set to a ssl.SSLContext instance to configure the SSL settings used for the HTTPS connection. If credentials is specified, it should be a 2-tuple consisting of userid and password, which will be placed in a HTTP ‘Authorization’ header using Basic authentication. If you specify credentials, you should also specify secure=True so that your userid and password are not passed in cleartext across the wire.

mapLogRecord(record)

Provides a dictionary, based on record, which is to be URL-encoded and sent to the web server. The default implementation just returns record.__dict__. This method can be overridden if e.g. only a subset of LogRecord is to be sent to the web server, or if more specific customization of what’s sent to the server is required.

emit(record)

Sends the record to the Web server as a URL-encoded dictionary. The mapLogRecord() method is used to convert the record to the dictionary to be sent.
