How to specify an IP address with Django test client?

I am testing an API with Django test client. The API uses geo blocking so in my test I need to specify an IP address to make sure it works properly. How can I do that?

I am making a request in my test like this:

from django.test.client import Client as HttpClient
.
.
.
client = HttpClient()
response = client.get(uri + query_string)
Solution

  • The Client.get() method has an extra keyword arguments parameter, which can be used to specify headers.

    c.get(/my-url/, REMOTE_ADDR="127.0.0.1")
