This project aims to provide an HTTP client library for Python to address some of the shortcomings of httplib and urllib2, in particular: * verification of SSL certificates, * usage of client certificate authentication with SSL, * SSL connections through a proxy, * usage of methods other than GET and POST.

Please note that this project is not maintained. Despite some efforts to improve the state of certificate verification, there are probably shortcomings in this project in this area (or others). You can of course have a look at the code, but you should certainly consider using an alternative library, since bugs will not be fixed in this project, and no guarantee is made regarding its correctness.
