HTTPConnection.putheader(header, argument[, ...]) Send an RFC 822-style header to the server. It sends a line to the server consisting of the header, a colon and a space, and the first argument. If more arguments are given, continuation lines are sent, each consisting of a tab and an argument.

HTTPConnection.getresponse() Should be called after a request is sent to get the response from the server. Returns an HTTPResponse instance. Note Note that you must have read the whole response before you can send a new request to the server. Changed in version 3.5: If a ConnectionError or subclass is raised, the HTTPConnection object will be ready to reconnect when a new request is sent.

HTTPConnection.connect() Connect to the server specified when the object was created. By default, this is called automatically when making a request if the client does not already have a connection.

HTTPConnection.putrequest(request, selector, skip_host=False, skip_accept_encoding=False) This should be the first call after the connection to the server has been made. It sends a line to the server consisting of the request string, the selector string, and the HTTP version (HTTP/1.1). To disable automatic sending of Host: or Accept-Encoding: headers (for example to accept additional content encodings), specify skip_host or skip_accept_encoding with non-False values.

HTTPConnection.close() Close the connection to the server.

exception http.client.CannotSendRequest A subclass of ImproperConnectionState.

exception http.client.BadStatusLine A subclass of HTTPException. Raised if a server responds with a HTTP status code that we don’t understand.

class http.client.HTTPConnection(host, port=None, [timeout, ]source_address=None) An HTTPConnection instance represents one transaction with an HTTP server. It should be instantiated passing it a host and optional port number. If no port number is passed, the port is extracted from the host string if it has the form host:port, else the default HTTP port (80) is used. If the optional timeout parameter is given, blocking operations (like connection attempts) will timeout after that many second
