A high performance, concurrent HTTP client library for python using gevent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
gevent.httplib support was removed in gevent 1.0, geventhttpclient now provides
|
||
|
|
that missing functionality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
geventhttpclient uses a fast http parser, written in C, originating from nginx,
|
||
|
|
extracted and modified by Joyent.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
geventhttpclient has been specifically designed for high concurrency, streaming
|
||
|
|
and support HTTP 1.1 persistent connections. More generally it is designed for
|
||
|
|
efficiently pulling from REST APIs and streaming APIs like Twitter's.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Safe SSL support is provided by default. geventhttpclient depends on the
|
||
|
|
certifi CA Bundle. This is the same CA Bundle which ships with the Requests
|
||
|
|
codebase, and is derived from Mozilla Firefox's canonical set.
