make a http trace request in python

You can make a HTTP trace request in Python using the http.client.HTTPConnection class. Here is an example code snippet:

main.py
import http.client

conn = http.client.HTTPConnection("www.example.com")
conn.set_debuglevel(1)  # set the debug level to see the tracing information
conn.request("TRACE", "/")
resp = conn.getresponse()
print(resp.read())
222 chars
8 lines

In this example, we create an HTTPConnection object to www.example.com and set the debug level to 1 to enable the tracing information. Then, we make a TRACE request by calling the request method with the TRACE method and the URL path as arguments. Finally, we get the response object by calling the getresponse method and print its content using the read method. You can replace the URL and path with your own values.
