The module provides the following classes:
-.. class:: HTTPConnection(host, port=None, strict=None[, timeout])
+.. class:: HTTPConnection(host, port=None, strict=None[, timeout[, source_address]])
An :class:`HTTPConnection` instance represents one transaction with an HTTP
server. It should be instantiated passing it a host and optional port
status line. If the optional *timeout* parameter is given, blocking
operations (like connection attempts) will timeout after that many seconds
(if it is not given, the global default timeout setting is used).
+ The optional *source_address* parameter may be a typle of a (host, port)
+ to use as the source address the HTTP connection is made from.
For example, the following calls all create instances that connect to the server
at the same host and port::
>>> h3 = http.client.HTTPConnection('www.cwi.nl', 80)
>>> h3 = http.client.HTTPConnection('www.cwi.nl', 80, timeout=10)
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.2
+ *source_address* was added.
-.. class:: HTTPSConnection(host, port=None, key_file=None, cert_file=None, strict=None[, timeout])
+
+.. class:: HTTPSConnection(host, port=None, key_file=None, cert_file=None, strict=None[, timeout[, source_address]])
A subclass of :class:`HTTPConnection` that uses SSL for communication with
secure servers. Default port is ``443``. *key_file* is the name of a PEM
This does not do any certificate verification.
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.2
+ *source_address* was added.
+
.. class:: HTTPResponse(sock, debuglevel=0, strict=0, method=None, url=None)
this platform.
-.. function:: create_connection(address[, timeout])
+.. function:: create_connection(address[, timeout[, source_address]])
Convenience function. Connect to *address* (a 2-tuple ``(host, port)``),
and return the socket object. Passing the optional *timeout* parameter will
*timeout* is supplied, the global default timeout setting returned by
:func:`getdefaulttimeout` is used.
+ If supplied, *source_address* must be a 2-tuple ``(host, port)`` for the
+ socket to bind to as its source address before connecting. If host or port
+ are '' or 0 respectively the OS default behavior will be used.
+
+ .. versionchanged:: 3.2
