Client side

Below is a sample python script acting as a client side. It sends bdev_get_bdevs method with optional name parameter and prints JSON object returned from remote_rpc script.

import json
import requests
if __name__ == '__main__':
payload = {'id':1, 'method': 'bdev_get_bdevs', 'params': {'name': 'Malloc0'}}
url = 'http://192.168.0.2:8000/'
req = requests.post(url,
data=json.dumps(payload),
auth=('user', 'password'),
verify=False,
timeout=30)
print (req.json())

Output:
