Project Summary

urllib3 is a powerful, sanity-friendly HTTP client for Python. Much of the Python ecosystem already uses urllib3 and you should too. urllib3 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 and deflate encoding.
•Proxy support for HTTP and SOCKS.
•100% test coverage.
