requests
This module provides a lightweight version of the Python requests↗ (opens in a new tab) library.
It includes support for all HTTP verbs, https, json decoding of responses,
redirects, basic authentication, HTTP/1.1 requests, and reading response
bodies with Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding: chunked via streaming
.raw or lazy .content.
Limitations
- Certificate validation is not currently supported.
- A dictionary passed as post data will not do automatic JSON or multipart-form encoding of post data (this can be done manually).
- Compressed requests/responses are not currently supported.
- File upload is not supported.
- HTTP keep-alive connection reuse is not supported (Connection: close by default).
Follow-up work
- TLS certificate verification (see micropython-lib issue #838).
