<h1><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">httplib2</span></tt> A comprehensive HTTP client library.<a class="headerlink" href="#module-httplib2" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">httplib2</span></tt> module is a comprehensive HTTP client library with the
following features:</p>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">HTTP and HTTPS</tt></dt>
<dd>HTTPS support is only available if the socket module was compiled with SSL
support.</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">Keep-Alive</tt></dt>
<dd>Supports HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive, keeping the socket open and performing multiple
requests over the same connection if possible.</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">Authentication</tt></dt>
<dd><p>The following three types of HTTP Authentication are supported. These can be
used over both HTTP and HTTPS.</p>
<blockquote>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Digest</li>
<li>Basic</li>
<li>WSSE</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">Caching</tt></dt>
<dd>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.</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">All Methods</tt></dt>
<dd>The module can handle any HTTP request method, not just GET and POST.</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">Redirects</tt></dt>
<dd>Automatically follows 3XX redirects on GETs.</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">Compression</tt></dt>
<dd>Handles both <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">deflate</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">gzip</span></tt> types of compression.</dd></dl>
<dl class="describe">
<dt>
<tt class="descname">Lost update support</tt></dt>
<dd>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</dd></dl>
<p>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">httplib2</span></tt> module defines the following variables:</p>

<p>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">httplib2</span></tt> module may raise the following Exceptions. Note that there
is an option that turns exceptions into normal responses with an HTTP status
code indicating an error occured. See

<p>Here is more complex example that does a PUT of some text to a resource that
requires authentication. The Http instance also uses a file cache in the
directory <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.cache</span></tt>.</p>

<p>Here is an example of providing data to an HTML form processor. In this case we
presume this is a POST form. We need to take our data and format it as
&#8220;application/x-www-form-urlencoded&#8221; data and use that as a body for a POST
request.</p>
