      1 httplib2 for Python 3
      2 
      3 This directory contains a port of httplib2 to Python 3. As you may
      4 know, Python 3 is not backward-compatible with Python 2. The biggest
      5 change in Python 3 (that affects httplib2) is the distinction between
      6 bytes and strings.
      7 
      8 To successfully use http2lib for Python 3, you absolutely must
      9 understand the following sentence:
     10 
     11 ** THE RESPONSE HEADERS ARE STRINGS, BUT THE CONTENT BODY IS BYTES **
     12 
     13 
     14 Example:
     15 
     16 >>> import httplib2, pprint
     17 >>> h = httplib2.Http(".cache")
     18 >>> (resp_headers, content) = h.request("http://example.org/", "GET")
     19 >>> pprint.pprint(resp_headers)
     20 {'accept-ranges': 'bytes',
     21  'connection': 'close',
     22  'content-length': '438',
     23  'content-location': 'http://example.org/',
     24  'content-type': 'text/html; charset=UTF-8',
     25  'date': 'Fri, 29 May 2009 03:57:29 GMT',
     26  'etag': '"b80f4-1b6-80bfd280"',
     27  'last-modified': 'Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:24:10 GMT',
     28  'server': 'Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)',
     29  'status': '200'}
     30 >>> type(content)
     31 <class 'bytes'>
     32 >>> content[:49]
     33 b'<HTML>\r\n<HEAD>\r\n  <TITLE>Example Web Page</TITLE>'
