title: Django: simulate HTTP requests in shell
body: <p>I just learnt that with Rails is possible to simulate HTTP requests in the console with few lines of code.</p>
  
  <p>Check out: <a href="http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3176-three-quick-rails-console-tips" rel="noreferrer">http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3176-three-quick-rails-console-tips</a> (section "Dive into your app").</p>
  
  <p>Is there a similar way to do that with Django? Would be handy.</p>
