200
>>> print(r.history)
    ['http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/3', 'http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/2',
 'http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/1', 'http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/end']
>>> print(r.url)
    http://h.wrttn.me/redirect/end

Auth managers

>>> import human_curl as hurl
>>> from human_curl.auth import BasicAuth, DigestAuth
>>> auth_manager = DigesAuth('username', 'password')
>>> r = hurl.post('http://h.wrttn.me/digest-auth/auth/username/password',
... auth=auth_manager)
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> basic_auth_manager = BasicAuth('username', 'password')
>>> r = hurl.post('http://h.wrttn.me/basic-auth/username/password',
... auth=basic_auth_manager)
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> oauth_manager = OAuthManager((CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET), (TOKEN_KEY, TOKEN_SECRET))

>>> r.status_code
200

Debug requests

>>> import human_curl as hurl
>>> # stdout_debug(debug_type, debug_msg)
>>> r = hurl.get("https://h.wrttn.me/basic-auth/username/password",
... debug=stdout_debug, allow_redirects=False,
... auth=("username", "password"))
>>> print(r.status_code)
200

Async requests

>>> from human_curl.async import AsyncClient
>>> async_client = AsyncClient(success_callback=lambda **kw: print kw,
... fail_callback=lambda **kw: print kw)
>>> async_client.get('http://h.wrttn.me/get')
>>> async_client.get('http://httpbin.org/get',
... success_callback=lambda **kw: print("success!"),
... fail_callback=lambda **kw: print("fail!")
