Empty response (request in python)

I need to retrieve some data using GET request.

Here is a part of my code:

my_conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("mydomain.com")
my_conn.request('GET', '/blahblahblah/.....server_type=35') 
  response = my_conn.getresponse()
  if response.status != 200:
    Log.Error('Did not get info')
  else:
    Log.Message(response.read())

I run the same piece of code twice - for server type 35 and for server type 36.
If I run that code in Sublime3 - I get all the data printed out for both server types.

But in TestComplete I got an empty response for both of them.

I added .decode('UTF-8') to response.read()

It helped for one request, but did not help for the second one. It is still empty...

 

Any suggestions?

    It looks like TestComplete prints my data to the log with WHITE font color.

     

     

    Nice feature :)

     

    What if you will pass all content to the Additional Information tab of the Log?

     

    Log.Message("Some title", response.read())

    Can you show what data is returned by both responses?

      It should return smth like that:

      {"oops-oops-prod-01":{"server_type":"35","name":"oops-oops-prod-01","oops_ip":"111.111.111.11","confirmed":"0"},"oops-oops-prod-02":{"server_type":"35","name":"oops-oops-prod-02","oops_ip":"111.111.111.11","confirmed":"0"},

      and so on.

       

      In TestComplete I get empty row in the Log.

        Hm... Your code works on my side (with my url) if I use str() method.

         

        You can try to use a higher level library like urllib or even requests

         

        Also you can play with timeout argument. A little chance that your default timeout setting is too small.

         

         

        http.client.HTTPConnection('your_domain', timeout=10)

         

         

        But first of all check that you do not receive an empty response.
