		async for chunk in fetch_chunked("https://example.com"):
			fp.write(chunk)

asyncio.run(main())

Low-level interface: HtppClient

import asyncio
from tiny_aio_http_client import HttpClient

async def main() -> None:
    async with HttpClient() as client:
        async with await client.get("https://example.com") as response:
            body = await response.read()
            print(body)
