Pendrell augments the twisted.web framework with an HTTP 1client that has
|
|
several advantages over prior art (or at least urllib2 and twisted.web.client):
|
|
|
|
* HTTP 1.1 support:
|
|
* TE/transfer-encoding support for chunked, gzip, and deflate encodings
|
|
* Ability to simultaneously maintain multiple persistent connections.
|
|
* Transparent Gzip and Deflate Content-encoding support.
|
|
* Ability to stream data, by performing call-backs with data chunks,
|
|
alleviates the need to buffer large files.
|
|
* Advanced Gzip support accomdates incremental decoding of chunked streams.
|
|
* Asynchronous (twisted) API.
|
|
* Integration with cookielib, and compatibility with urllib2.Request API.
|
|
* Proxy Support.
