## Module twisted.protocols.http

HyperText Transfer Protocol implementation.

This is used by twisted.web.

API Stability: Server HTTP support is semi-stable, client HTTP is unstable.

Future Plans:

- HTTP client support will at some point be refactored to support HTTP/1.1.
- Accept chunked data from clients in server.
- Other missing HTTP features from the RFC.

Maintainer: Itamar Shtull-Trauring<mailto:twisted@itamarst.org>
