urllib3-future 2.0.931

Fork of mainstream urllib3 but ahead of his time

urllib3.future is as BoringSSL is to OpenSSL but to urllib3 (except support is available!)

urllib3 is a powerful, user-friendly HTTP client for Python. urllib3.future goes beyond supported features while remaining mostly compatible. urllib3.future brings many critical features that are missing from the Python standard libraries:

• Thread safety.
• Connection pooling.
• Client-side SSL/TLS verification.
• File uploads with multipart encoding.
• Helpers for retrying requests and dealing with HTTP redirects.
• Support for gzip, deflate, brotli, and zstd encoding.
• HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 support.
• Proxy support for HTTP and SOCKS.
• 100% test coverage.

urllib3 is powerful and easy to use:

>>> import urllib3
>>> resp = urllib3.request("GET", "https://httpbin.org/robots.txt")
>>> resp.status
200
>>> resp.data
b"User-agent: *\nDisallow: /deny\n"
>>> resp.version
20

Installing

urllib3.future can be installed with pip:

$ python -m pip install urllib3.future

⚠️ Installing urllib3.future shadows the actual urllib3 package (depending on installation order) and you should carefully weight the impacts. The semver will always be like MAJOR.MINOR.9PP like 2.0.941, the patch node is always greater or equal to 900.

Support for bugs or improvements is served in this repository. We regularly sync this fork with the main branch of urllib3/urllib3.
