:mod:`!http` --- HTTP modules
=============================
.. module:: http
:synopsis: HTTP status codes and messages
**Source code:** :source:`Lib/http/__init__.py`
.. index::
pair: HTTP; protocol
single: HTTP; http (standard module)
--------------
:mod:`http` is a package that collects several modules for working with the
HyperText Transfer Protocol:
* :mod:`http.client` is a low-level HTTP protocol client; for high-level URL
opening use :mod:`urllib.request`
* :mod:`http.server` contains basic HTTP server classes based on :mod:`socketserver`
* :mod:`http.cookies` has utilities for implementing state management with cookies
* :mod:`http.cookiejar` provides persistence of cookies
The :mod:`http` module also defines the following enums that help you work with http related code:
.. class:: HTTPStatus
.. versionadded:: 3.5
A subclass of :class:`enum.IntEnum` that defines a set of HTTP status codes,
reason phrases and long descriptions written in English.
Usage::
>>> from http import HTTPStatus
>>> HTTPStatus.OK
HTTPStatus.OK
>>> HTTPStatus.OK == 200
True
>>> HTTPStatus.OK.value
200
>>> HTTPStatus.OK.phrase
'OK'
>>> HTTPStatus.OK.description
'Request fulfilled, document follows'
>>> list(HTTPStatus)
[HTTPStatus.CONTINUE, HTTPStatus.SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS, ...]

======= =================================== ==================================================================
In order to preserve backwards compatibility, enum values are also present
in the :mod:`http.client` module in the form of constants. The enum name is
equal to the constant name (i.e. ``http.HTTPStatus.OK`` is also available as
``http.client.OK``).
.. versionchanged:: 3.7
Added ``421 MISDIRECTED_REQUEST`` status code.
.. versionadded:: 3.8
Added ``451 UNAVAILABLE_FOR_LEGAL_REASONS`` status code.
.. versionadded:: 3.9
Added ``103 EARLY_HINTS``, ``418 IM_A_TEAPOT`` and ``425 TOO_EARLY`` status codes.
.. versionchanged:: 3.13
Implemented RFC9110 naming for status constants. Old constant names are preserved for
backwards compatibility.
HTTP status category
--------------------
.. versionadded:: 3.12
The enum values have several properties to indicate the HTTP status category:
==================== ======================== ======================================
Property Indicates that Details
==================== ======================== ======================================
``is_informational`` ``100 <= status <= 199`` HTTP Semantics :rfc:`9110`, Section 15
``is_success`` ``200 <= status <= 299`` HTTP Semantics :rfc:`9110`, Section 15
``is_redirection`` ``300 <= status <= 399`` HTTP Semantics :rfc:`9110`, Section 15
``is_client_error`` ``400 <= status <= 499`` HTTP Semantics :rfc:`9110`, Section 15
``is_server_error`` ``500 <= status <= 599`` HTTP Semantics :rfc:`9110`, Section 15
==================== ======================== ======================================
Usage::
>>> from http import HTTPStatus
>>> HTTPStatus.OK.is_success
True
>>> HTTPStatus.OK.is_client_error
False
.. class:: HTTPMethod
.. versionadded:: 3.11
A subclass of :class:`enum.StrEnum` that defines a set of HTTP methods and descriptions written in English.
Usage::
>>> from http import HTTPMethod
>>>
>>> HTTPMethod.GET
<HTTPMethod.GET>
>>> HTTPMethod.GET == 'GET'
True
>>> HTTPMethod.GET.value
'GET'
>>> HTTPMethod.GET.description
'Retrieve the target.'
>>> list(HTTPMethod)
[<HTTPMethod.CONNECT>,
<HTTPMethod.DELETE>,
<HTTPMethod.GET>,
<HTTPMethod.HEAD>,
<HTTPMethod.OPTIONS>,
<HTTPMethod.PATCH>,
<HTTPMethod.POST>,
<HTTPMethod.PUT>,
