Changelog

Release 2.2 (2014-03-14)

  • Unittests requiring the asyncio module are now skipped if this module is not available.

Release 2.1 (2014-03-11)

  • Fixed a problem where data was not sent to the server if the syscall was interrupted by a signal.
  • It is no longer necessary to read from response body at least once even if has zero length.
  • PollNeeded.poll now uses select.poll instead of select.select. This avoids a “filedescriptor out of range” exception that may be raised by select.select when the filedescriptor exceeds some system-specific value.

Release 2.0 (2014-02-23)

  • Renamed module from httpio to dugong.
  • The coroutine based API was completely overhauled.
  • Introduced BodyFollowing class for use with body parameter of send_request method.
  • send_request now returns a HTTPResponse instance instead of a tuple.
  • The HTTPConnection.get_current_response() method has been removed.
  • The HTTPConnection.fileno() method has been removed.
  • Added CaseInsensitiveDict class.
  • send_request now converts the header parameter to a CaseInsensitiveDict.
  • send_request now automatically generates a Content-MD5 header when the body is passed in as a bytes-like object.
  • HTTPConnection.read now accepts None for the len_ parameter.
  • HTTPConnection instances now support a bare-bones io.IOBase interface so that they can be combined with io.TextIOWrapper to read text response bodies.
  • The HTTPConnection.close() method was renamed to HTTPConnection.disconnect to prevent confusion related to the closed attribute (which may be True if the connection is established, but there is no active response body).
  • Repeatedly trying to read more response data after the response body has been read completely no longer results in StateError being raised, but simply returns b''.
