Document global allow_net_connect flag
thigg opened this issue · comments
I haven't found any place in the documentation where it is mentioned, that it is possible to globally disable network access:
HTTPretty.allow_net_connect = False
I also didn't find a good place to add it, thus I am leaving this issue here.
From a quick look I'm not sure it's generally a good idea to set allow_net_connect
directly - but rather should be set via HTTPretty.enable(allow_net_connect=False)
. Calling it this way monkeypatches some of python's socket
implementation with a fake socket.
So I guess probably better not to add documentation to show that, as it would potentially encourage bad practice and potentially more buggy usage.
