Version 0.13.0

0.13.0 (April 21st, 2021)

The 0.13 release updates the core API in order to match the HTTPX Transport API,
introduced in HTTPX 0.18 onwards.

An example of making requests with the new interface is:

with httpcore.SyncConnectionPool() as http:
    status_code, headers, stream, extensions = http.handle_request(
        method=b'GET',
        url=(b'https', b'example.org', 443, b'/'),
        headers=[(b'host', b'example.org'), (b'user-agent', b'httpcore')]
        stream=httpcore.ByteStream(b''),
        extensions={}
    )
    body = stream.read()
    print(status_code, body)

Changed

• The .request() method is now handle_request(). (Pull #296)
• The .arequest() method is now .handle_async_request(). (Pull #296)
