René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Implement HTTP/1.1 support.","articleBody":"Over time it has become increasingly clear that `httplib`/`http.client` are a liability to requests/urllib3. Given that we'll need a HTTP/1.1 stack and that `httplib` is a liability, we should look into writing a new one.\n\nThis issue is a long-term goal, but is open to track the desired features from such a rewrite. This should be a list of mistakes that `httplib` has made that we should not make.\n\nInitial list:\n- Configurable file-like-object streaming size. `httplib` streams file objects much slower than cURL does because it uses quite small chunks. We should make this faster.\n- Support for 1XX responses.\n- Better API.\n- Support for not ruining file-objects when connections fall apart.\n- No support for HTTP/1.0 or earlier.\n- A clean mechanism for Upgrade:, such that the socket is provided in a known-good state along with information about the connection.\n- Better separation of socket and parser logic.\n\n/cc @sigmavirus24 @shazow for more ideas.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Lukasa","@type":"Person","name":"Lukasa"},"datePublished":"2014-08-29T13:48:12.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":12},"url":"https://github.com/75/hyper/issues/75"}
