A HTTP 1.1 client module supporting asynchronous IO, pipelining and `Expect: 100-continue`. Designed for RESTful protocols.
Project description
The Python Dugong module provides an API for communicating with HTTP
1.1 servers. It is an alternative to the standard library’s
http.client (formerly httplib) module. In contrast to
http.client, Dugong:
allows you to send multiple requests right after each other without having to read the responses first.
supports waiting for 100-continue before sending the request body.
raises an exception instead of silently delivering partial data if the connection is closed before all data has been received.
raises one specific exception (
ConnectionClosed) if the connection has been closed (whilehttp.clientconnection may raise any ofBrokenPipeError,~http.client.BadStatusLine,ConnectionAbortedError,ConnectionResetError,~http.client.IncompleteReador simply return '' on read)supports non-blocking, asynchronous operation and is compatible with the asyncio module.
is not compatible with old HTTP 0.9 or 1.0 servers.
All request and response headers are represented as str, but must be
encodable in latin1. Request and response body must be bytes-like
objects or binary streams.
Dugong requires Python 3.3 or newer.
