syshttp

HTTP plumbing that behaves the same in every client you build on it. syshttp decides which proxy to use, with which credential and for which hosts. It speaks to URL-prefix gateways, files cookies and tokens under the origin's host, and has the operating system verify certificates. With no proxy variable set it routes the way the system does (its proxy settings, PAC, WPAD). Its own HTTP client, on the standard library alone, applies all of them; requests is needed by no feature, and only syshttp.autopatch patches it.

from syshttp import fetch

response = fetch("https://example.com/", cookies=True, tokens=True)
print(response.status, response.headers["Content-Type"])
