HTTP library with thread-safe connection pooling, file post, and more.
Highlights
* Re-use the same socket connection for multiple requests (HTTPConnectionPool
and HTTPSConnectionPool) (with optional client-side certificate
verification).
* File posting (encode_multipart_formdata).
* Built-in redirection and retries (optional).
* Supports gzip and deflate decoding.
* Thread-safe and sanity-safe.
* Works with AppEngine, gevent, and eventlib.
* Tested on Python 2.6+ and Python 3.2+, 100% unit test coverage.
* Small and easy to understand codebase perfect for extending and building
upon. For a more comprehensive solution, have a look at Requests which is
also powered by urllib3.
