Jamie Lennox 22760510b7 Allow querying if a mock was called.
Firstly privatize everything on the existing matcher object as it is now
going to be a public interface.

Add called and call_count parameters for querying how many times that
particular mock was invoked. We do this by saving a reference to every
request that passes through. This is inefficient for now, however it
lets us do more interesting things like called_with in the future.

Adapter Usage
=============
Creating an Adapter
===================
The standard `requests`_ means of using an adapter is to :py:meth:`~requests.Session.mount` it on a created session. This is not the only way to load the adapter, however the same interactions will be used.
.. doctest::
>>> import requests
>>> import requests_mock
>>> session = requests.Session()
>>> adapter = requests_mock.Adapter()
>>> session.mount('mock', adapter)
At this point any requests made by the session to a URI starting with `mock://` will be sent to our adapter.
Registering Responses
=====================
Responses are registered with the :py:meth:`requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` function on the adapter.
.. doctest::
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com', text='Success')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com')
>>> resp.text
'Success'
:py:meth:`~requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` takes the HTTP method, the URI and then information that is used to build the response. This information includes:
:status_code: The HTTP status response to return. Defaults to 200.
:reason: The reason text that accompanies the Status (e.g. 'OK' in '200 OK')
:headers: A dictionary of headers to be included in the response.
To specify the body of the response there are a number of options that depend on the format that you wish to return.
:json: A python object that will be converted to a JSON string.
:text: A unicode string. This is typically what you will want to use for regular textual content.
:content: A byte string. This should be used for including binary data in responses.
:body: A file like object that contains a `.read()` function.
:raw: A prepopulated :py:class:`urllib3.response.HTTPResponse` to be returned.
These options are named to coincide with the parameters on a :py:class:`requests.Response` object. For example:
.. doctest::
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/1', json={'a': 'b'}, status_code=200)
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/1')
>>> resp.json()
{'a': 'b'}
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/2', text='Not Found', status_code=404)
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/2')
>>> resp.text
'Not Found'
>>> resp.status_code
404
It only makes sense to provide at most one body element per response.
Dynamic Response
================
A callback can be provided in place of any of the body elements.
Callbacks must be a function in the form of
.. code:: python
def callback(request, context):
and return a value suitable to the body element that was specified.
The elements provided are:
:request: The :py:class:`requests.Request` object that was provided.
:context: An object containing the collected known data about this response.
The available properties on the `context` are:
:headers: The dictionary of headers that are to be returned in the response.
:status_code: The status code that is to be returned in the response.
:reason: The string HTTP status code reason that is to be returned in the response.
These parameters are populated initially from the variables provided to the :py:meth:`~requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` function and if they are modified on the context object then those changes will be reflected in the response.
.. doctest::
>>> def text_callback(request, context):
... context.status_code = 200
... context.headers['Test1'] = 'value1'
... return 'response'
...
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET',
... 'mock://test.com/3',
... text=text_callback,
... headers={'Test2': 'value2'},
... status_code=400)
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/3')
>>> resp.status_code, resp.headers, resp.text
(200, {'Test1': 'value1', 'Test2': 'value2'}, 'response')
Response Lists
==============
Multiple responses can be provided to be returned in order by specifying the keyword parameters in a list.
If the list is exhausted then the last response will continue to be returned.
.. doctest::
>>> adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/4', [{'text': 'resp1', 'status_code': 300},
... {'text': 'resp2', 'status_code': 200}])
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/4')
>>> (resp.status_code, resp.text)
(300, 'resp1')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/4')
>>> (resp.status_code, resp.text)
(200, 'resp2')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/4')
>>> (resp.status_code, resp.text)
(200, 'resp2')
Mock Returns
============
The object returned from a :py:meth:`~requests_mock.Adapter.register_uri` is an object representing the mock that was created at that URL.
There are a couple of queries that can be made of this object, including `called` and `call_count`.
.. doctest::
>>> mock_obj = adapter.register_uri('GET', 'mock://test.com/5', text='resp')
>>> resp = session.get('mock://test.com/5')
>>> resp.text
'resp'
>>> mock_obj.called
True
>>> mock_obj.call_count
1
