but quite a few handy improvements nonetheless. Scrapy now supports anonymous FTP sessions with customizable user and password via the new :setting:`FTP_USER` and :setting:`FTP_PASSWORD` settings. And if you're using Twisted version 17.1.0 or above, FTP is now available with Python 3. There's a new :meth:`response.follow <scrapy.http.TextResponse.follow>` method for creating requests; **it is now a recommended way to create Requests in Scrapy spiders**. This method makes it easier to write correct spiders; ``response.follow`` has several advantages over creating ``scrapy.Request`` objects directly: * it handles relative URLs; * it works properly with non-ascii URLs on non-UTF8 pages; * in addition to absolute and relative URLs it supports Selectors; for ``<a>`` elements it can also extract their href values. |
