New submission from Demian Brecht: This is an attempt to bring a little more sanity to the http.client module through improvements to the architecture. The overarching intention of the patch is to modularize the HTTP versions, providing the following benefits:
* Make each protocol easier to work on independent of one another * Make integrating future versions easier. This is intended as a stepping stone to integrating support for HTTP 2 * Separation of concerns between connection and application protocol Immediate issues that this solves: * Content-Length when a list is passed in. Currently the content length is set to the size of the list rather than the sum of the elements of the list * Provides a little more user-friendly errors when invalid objects are passed in as header values Note: This is still in a WIP progress state but shouldn't take much longer to get into a commit-able state. There's some work to be done on deserialization and it's entirely documentation. However, tests are passing so I figured now would be a good time to get initial feedback on the work. In hindsight, a PEP would likely have been best (it was initially intended to be put into httplib3, but I thought I might as well try it as a patch submission given it's largely backwards compatible). ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: http_proto.patch keywords: patch messages: 234866 nosy: demian.brecht priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: http.client refactor type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37886/http_proto.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23334> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
