implement RW-multiple and RW-all properties for HTTP client #114
Description
The server already supports it, it is posssible to issue this operation. Enable it for the client through the scripting API (as in ObjectProxy.read_multiple_properties etc.) for the HTTP.
See implementation of read and write multiple properties in the properties registry.
(For example, read multiple properties accepts a names parameters as the argument and returns a dictionary - usually JSON for application/json content type. If the names is empty, it returns all of them. similar logic applies to write operation.)
Rough steps:
- in
client/http/consumed_interactions.py, define a class for read and write multiple properties. A similar implementation can be found underclient.zmq.consumed_interactions.pyfor ZMQ. It looks like it needs to be invoked as an action (due to the handler living inside a sub object, which we dont directly expose). This is only a detail, this does not affect the behaviour as far as the user is concerned. - in
client/factory.py, compose this object and set it as an attribute of the Object Proxy. Make sure object proxy is able to invoke it. - add tests - in test_13_procotols_http , there are end to end test where the read-write multiple properties have been overriden with empty tests or removed from testing. Bring them back and they should pass.
