-
State of client side HTTP in #python
- stdlib http.client - HTTP/1.1 only, docs recommend to use requests instead.
- requests - poorly maintained, in 2020 stopped working when servers deprecated older TLS versions. HTTP/1.1 only, sync only
- #httpx - comparatively slow and API design is driven by compatibility with browsers. Some users plug-in aiohttp for better performance. Supports HTTP/2 but it's discouraged as not optimized.
- #aiohttp - good API, both client and server but seems more focused on the server side; HTTP/1.1 only.
- #niquests - async fork of requests with HTTP/2, but uses forked urllib3 with the same package name as the original, which messes up deployment.
- #aioquic - client & server, HTTP/3 only🤦
