You can install robotframework-httplibrary via pip:
pip install --upgrade robotframework-httplibraryAPI documentation can be found at http://peritus.github.com/robotframework-httplibrary/, here is an example on how to use it:

This library is only tested on CPython. It might work on Jython, not sure.
If you want to hack on this library itself, this should get you started:
# bootstrap development environment
git clone https://github.com/peritus/robotframework-httplibrary.git
cd robotframework-httplibrary/
python bootstrap.py
./bin/buildout
# run tests
./bin/robotframework tests/I'm very happy about patches, pull-requests and API-discussions (as this is mostly a wrapper supposed to have a nice API)!
v1.0.0
- Upgraded dependent robotframework library version to 3.1.2(latest).
- Migrated source code to support both python 2 and python 3.
- Unit tests updated accordingly.
- Integrated tox test automation tool to test on multiple python environments.
v0.4.2
- Don't enforce ASCII when converting to JSON (so chinese characters are printed as such and not escaped like uXXXX). Thanks Terry Yin!
v0.4.1
- Tested with Robot Framework 2.8rc1
- Uses jsonpointer 1.0, jsonpatch 1.0
v0.4.0
- Compatible with Webtest > 2.0
- hard-deprecate 'Set HTTP Host', will be removed soon.
v0.3.4
- Add support for python-json-pointer >= 0.6 (if you experienced "
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'set_pointer'", you should upgrade to this version).

Beerware: If we meet some day, and you think this stuff is worth it (or need a more serious license), you can buy me a beer in return.
