single | A comprehensive HTTP client library, httplib2 supports many features left out of other HTTP libraries. **HTTP and HTTPS** HTTPS support is only available if the socket module was compiled with SSL support. **Keep-Alive** Supports HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive, keeping the socket open and performing multiple requests over the same connection if possible. **Authentication** The following three types of HTTP Authentication are supported. These can be used over both HTTP and HTTPS. * Digest * Basic * WSSE **Caching** The module can optionally operate with a private cache that understands the Cache-Control: header and uses both the ETag and Last-Modified cache validators. Both file system and memcached based caches are supported. **All Methods** The module can handle any HTTP request method, not just GET and POST. **Redirects** Automatically follows 3XX redirects on GETs. **Compression** Handles both 'deflate' and 'gzip' types of compression. **Lost update support** Automatically adds back ETags into PUT requests to resources we have already cached. This implements Section 3.2 of Detecting the Lost Update Problem Using Unreserved Checkout **Unit Tested** A large and growing set of unit tests. |
