The module provides the following classes:
-.. class:: HTTPConnection(host, port=None[, timeout], \
- source_address=None)
+.. class:: HTTPConnection(host, port=None[, timeout], source_address=None)
An :class:`HTTPConnection` instance represents one transaction with an HTTP
server. It should be instantiated passing it a host and optional port
The default port for the HTTP protocol (always ``80``).
-
.. data:: HTTPS_PORT
The default port for the HTTPS protocol (always ``443``).
also send your request step by step, by using the four functions below.
-.. method:: HTTPConnection.putrequest(request, selector, skip_host=False, skip_accept_encoding=False)
+.. method:: HTTPConnection.putrequest(method, url, skip_host=False, \
+ skip_accept_encoding=False)
- This should be the first call after the connection to the server has been made.
- It sends a line to the server consisting of the *request* string, the *selector*
- string, and the HTTP version (``HTTP/1.1``). To disable automatic sending of
- ``Host:`` or ``Accept-Encoding:`` headers (for example to accept additional
- content encodings), specify *skip_host* or *skip_accept_encoding* with non-False
- values.

.. method:: HTTPConnection.putheader(header, argument[, ...])
return all of the values joined by ', '. If 'default' is any iterable other
than a single string, its elements are similarly returned joined by commas.
-
.. method:: HTTPResponse.getheaders()
Return a list of (header, value) tuples.

:class:`email.message.Message`.
-
.. attribute:: HTTPResponse.version
HTTP protocol version used by server. 10 for HTTP/1.0, 11 for HTTP/1.1.
-
.. attribute:: HTTPResponse.status
Status code returned by server.
-
.. attribute:: HTTPResponse.reason
Reason phrase returned by server.
-
.. attribute:: HTTPResponse.debuglevel
A debugging hook. If :attr:`debuglevel` is greater than zero, messages
if message_body is not None:
self.send(message_body)

`method' specifies an HTTP request method, e.g. 'GET'.
