Latest release 20250306: New default_headerregistry(), header(headers,name), content_length(headers) and content_type(headers).

content_length(headers: Mapping[str, str]) -> Optional[int]

Return the value of the Content-Length header, or None.

Note that headers is expected to be a case insensitive mapping.

content_type(headers: Mapping[str, str]) -> email.headerregistry.ContentTypeHeader

Return the parsed value of the Content-Type header, or None.

Note that headers is expected to be a case insensitive mapping.

datetime_from_asctime_date(s)

Parse an asctime-date from a string, return a datetime object. See RFC2616 section 3.3.1. Format: wkday, mon d hh:mm:ss yyyy

datetime_from_http_date(s)

Parse an HTTP-date from a string, return a datetime object. See RFC2616 section 3.3.1.

datetime_from_rfc1123_date(s)

Parse an rfc1123-date from a string, return a datetime object. See RFC2616 section 3.3.1. Format: wkday, dd mon yyyy hh:mm:ss GMT

datetime_from_rfc850_date(s)

Parse an rfc850-date from a string, return a datetime object. See RFC2616 section 3.3.1. Format: weekday, dd-mon-yy hh:mm:ss GMT

enc8(s)

encode and decode bytes<->str for HTTP stream: 8-bit 1-to-1

get_lws(s, offset=0)

Gather up an LWS.

get_quoted_string(s, offset=0)

Match a quoted-string in s starting at offset.

get_space(s, offset=0)

Gather up a sequence of SP or HT, possibly empty.

get_text(s, offset=0)

Gather up a sequence of TEXT characters (possibly empty).

get_token(s, offset=0)

Get an RFC2616 token from the string s starting at offset. Return token, new_offset. See RFC2616 part 2.2.

header(headers: Mapping[str, str], header_name: str, registry: Optional[email.headerregistry.HeaderRegistry] = None) -> Optional[email.headerregistry.BaseHeader]

Return a header parsed into an instance of email.headerregistry.BaseHeader or None if header_name is not present.

message_has_body(headers)

Does this message have a message body to forward? See RFC2616, part 4.3 and 4.4. Note that HTTP certain requests preempty this; for example HEAD never has a body. That aspect is not considered here.

parse_chunk_line1(bline)

Parse the opening line of a chunked-encoding chunk.

pass_chunked(fpin, fpout, has_trailer)

Copy "chunked" data from fpin to fpout, and an optional trailer section (default False). See RFC2616, part 3.6.1.

pass_length(fpin, fpout, length)

Copy a specific amount of data from fpin to fpout.

read_chunked(fpin, has_trailer=False)

Generator that reads "chunked" data from fpin, and an optional trailer section (default False). See RFC2616, part 3.6.1.

read_headers(fp)

Read headers from a binary file such as an HTTP stream, return the raw binary data and the corresponding Message object.

read_http_request_line(fp)

Read HTTP Request-Line from the binary file fp, return method, uri, version. See RFC2616 section 5.1. If an empty request line is received return None, None, None.
