Quickstart

• request()
• stream()

Connection Pools

• ConnectionPool
• pool.request()
• pool.stream()
• pool.handle_request()

Explain advantages of connection pooling.

Discuss thread and task safety.

• pool.close()
• with ConnectionPool() as pool:

Closing and using as a context manager.

Configuration.

Requests, Responses, URLs

• Request
• Response
• URL

ByteStreams

• SyncByteStream

Connections

• pool.connections
• HTTPConnection
• HTTPSConnection

Demo working with a single connection in isolation, in order to help provide better understanding of how a single connection works.

Demo the interface that the connection pool uses when working with connections.

Proxies

Explain forwarding and tunnelling requests.

Demo how to perform proxying directly using a single connection, in order to help provide better understanding of how each type of proxy request works.

HTTP/2

Demo that multiple requests can share a single connection over HTTP/2.

Async support

...

Network Backends

• NetworkBackend
• NetworkStream
• backend.connect()
• stream.read()
• stream.write()
• stream.close()
• stream.start_tls()
• stream.get_extra_info()

Demo using a network backend to connect to a host, show sending an HTTP/1.1 request using plain bytes.

Demo subclassing the default backend, to create a backend that prints the network traffic in both directions.

Extensions

• "timeout"
• "http_version"
• "reason_phrase"
• "network_stream"

Explain why we use extensions. Request and Response extensions. Detail each case.
