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 (while http.client connection may raise any of BrokenPipeError,
BadStatusLine, ConnectionAbortedError, ConnectionResetError, IncompleteRead
or simply return '' on read)
* supports non-blocking, asynchronous operation and is compatible with the
asyncio module.
* can in most cases distinguish between an unavailable DNS server and
an unresolvable hostname.
* 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.
