HTTPX

HTTPX 0.21 has now been released, which integrates against the newly redesigned httpcore package described in the last monthly report.

The most notable features that this enables are some improvements in the command-line client.

• SSL certificate information is now displayed when using the -v/--verbose flag.
• Connection information indicating the connected IP is now displayed when using the -v/--verbose flag.
• When HTTP/2 is enabled with --http2, the request will now correctly display as either HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 depending on if connection actually ended up negotiating as HTTP/2 or not.

These improvements are possible as a result of the new trace extension supported by the latest httpcore version.

Alongside this, the redesigned httpcore has been released as 0.14. For more information see the comprehensive new documentation.
