* gh-133810: remove `http.server.CGIHTTPRequestHandler` and `--cgi` flag (#133811)Bénédikt Tran2025-05-17
| | | The CGI HTTP request handler has been deprecated since Python 3.13.
* gh-112064: Fix incorrect handling of negative read sizes in ↵Yury Manushkin2025-01-28
| | | | | | | | `HTTPResponse.read()` (#128270) The parameter `amt` of `HTTPResponse.read()`, which could be a negative integer, has not been handled before and led to waiting for the connection to close for `keep-alive connections`. Now, this has been fixed, and passing negative values to `HTTPResponse().read()` works the same as passing `None` value.
* Remove almost all unpaired backticks in docstrings (#119231)Geoffrey Thomas2024-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported in #117847 and #115366, an unpaired backtick in a docstring tends to confuse e.g. Sphinx running on subclasses of standard library objects, and the typographic style of using a backtick as an opening quote is no longer in favor. Convert almost all uses of the form The variable `foo' should do xyz to The variable 'foo' should do xyz and also fix up miscellaneous other unpaired backticks (extraneous / missing characters). No functional change is intended here other than in human-readable docstrings.
* gh-100985: Consistently wrap IPv6 IP address during CONNECT (GH-100986)Derek Higgins2024-02-17

* gh-69152: add method get_proxy_response_headers to HTTPConnection class ↵Alexey Namyotkin2023-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | (#104248) Add http.client.HTTPConnection method get_proxy_response_headers() - this is a followup to https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/26152 which added it as a non-public attribute. This way we don't pre-compute a headers dictionary that most users will never access. The new method is properly public and documented and triggers full proxy header parsing into a dict only when actually called. --------- Co-authored-by: blurb-it[bot] <43283697+blurb-it[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Gregory P.

* gh-94172: Remove keyfile, certfile and check_hostname parameters (#94173)Victor Stinner2022-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the keyfile, certfile and check_hostname parameters, deprecated since Python 3.6, in modules: ftplib, http.client, imaplib, poplib and smtplib. Use the context parameter (ssl_context in imaplib) instead. Parameters following the removed parameters become keyword-only parameters. ftplib: Remove the FTP_TLS.ssl_version class attribute: use the context parameter instead.
* Run Tools/scripts/reindent.py (#94225)Victor Stinner2022-06-26

* gh-94172: urllib.request avoids deprecated check_hostname (#94193)Victor Stinner2022-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | The urllib.request no longer uses the deprecated check_hostname parameter of the http.client module. Add private http.client._create_https_context() helper to http.client, used by urllib.request. Remove the now redundant check on check_hostname and verify_mode in http.client: the SSLContext.check_hostname setter already implements the check.

* bpo-41002: Optimize HTTPResponse.read with a given amount (GH-20943)Bruce Merry2020-06-24
| | | | | I've done the implementation for both non-chunked and chunked reads. I haven't benchmarked chunked reads because I don't currently have a convenient way to generate a high-bandwidth chunked stream, but I don't see any reason that it shouldn't enjoy the same benefits that the non-chunked case does. I've used the benchmark attached to the bpo bug to verify that performance now matches the unsized read case. Automerge-Triggered-By: @methane

This makes overriding just that simpler. Also, don't use the := operator to make backporting easier. * Add a news entry. * _prepare_path_encoding -> _encode_prepared_path() * Once again separate the path validation and request encoding, drastically simplifying the behavior.

* bpo-31945: Configurable blocksize in HTTP(S)Connection (#4279)Nir Soffer2017-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blocksize was hardcoded to 8192, preventing efficient upload when using file-like body. Add blocksize argument to __init__, so users can configure the blocksize to fit their needs. I tested this uploading data from /dev/zero to a web server dropping the received data, to test the overhead of the HTTPConnection.send() with a file-like object. Here is an example 10g upload with the default buffer size (8192): $ time ~/src/cpython/release/python upload-httplib.py 10 https://localhost:8000/ Uploaded 10.00g in 17.53 seconds (584.00m/s) real 0m17.574s user 0m8.887s sys 0m5.971s Same with 512k blocksize: $ time ~/src/cpython/release/python upload-httplib.py 10 https://localhost:8000/ Uploaded 10.00g in 6.60 seconds (1551.15m/s) real 0m6.641s user 0m3.426s sys 0m2.162s In real world usage the difference will be smaller, depending on the local and remote storage and the network.
