Documentation

This library aims to be API compatible with Requests, thus the Requests documentation should be mostly applicable.

Known limitations

• Currently limited to GET requests
• No support for Cookies
• No support for timeouts
• No support for Session objects (e.g. requests.Session)
• No support for client-side certificates
• No support for proxies
• No support for link headers (e.g. Response.links)
• No support for authentication

Most of these features should be supported in the near future.
