wget with subprocess.call()












0














I'm working on a domain fronting project. Basically I'm trying to use the subprocess.call() function to interpret the following command:
wget -O - https://fronteddomain.example --header 'Host: targetdomain.example'



With the proper domains, I know how to domain front, that is not the problem. Just need some help with writing using the python subprocess.call() function with wget.

  • Why do a subprocess.call() to launch wget when you have HTTP client libraries available in Python, starting with requests (docs.python-requests.org/en/master)?

  • @PatrickMevzek I've been working on domain fronting using curl and wget through the CLI, so I just looked up a way to run a command in python. I will look into the requests library. I just need the ability to manipulate Host headers.

  • Manipulating headers should not be a problem, see docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/quickstart/…. By using an internal library instead of an external command you gain: more control, more performances, more portability (ex: running your code on an host that does not have curl or wget installed) and better security.

call(["curl", "-s", "-H" "Host: targetdomain.example", "-H", "Connection: close", "frontdomain.example"])
