Tests

httptools is a Python binding for the nodejs HTTP parser.

The package is available on PyPI: pip install httptools.

APIs

httptools contains two classes httptools.HttpRequestParser, httptools.HttpResponseParser (fulfilled through llhttp) and a function for parsing URLs httptools.parse_url (through http-parse for now). See unittests for examples.


class HttpRequestParser:

    def __init__(self, protocol):
        """HttpRequestParser

        protocol -- a Python object with the following methods
        (all optional):

    def should_upgrade(self) -> bool:
        """Return ``True`` if the parsed request is a valid Upgrade request.
