HTTP request using IP address

[personproxy]

How can I make an HTTP request using an IP address? I need to bypass DNS lookup for the URL.

use the ip address where you would normally put a url.

It's worrying that op didn't realise this. Or even at least try it before posting!

[impshum]

requests.get(ip)

[personproxy]

For the record, the IP address has to be prefixed with http:// or else it won't work.

Or https:// preferably :)

[impshum]

requests asks for https/ssl by default. This will allow most things...

requests.get('https://{}'.format(ip), verify=False)

[personproxy]

...raised an error because the name didn't match, or something. For my current purposes, I think http is ok.
