Hi @westurner! What exactly were you looking for here?

[westurner]

From https://github.com/Lukasa/requests-ftp/blob/master/README.rst :

This library is not intended to be an example of Transport Adapters best practices. This library was cowboyed together in about 4 hours of total work, has no tests, and relies on a few ugly hacks. Instead, it is intended as both a starting point for future development and a useful example for how to implement transport adapters.

SFTP. Security is for the weak.

fs implements various thread-safe filesystem interface abstractions that may be useful as a reference for/when implementing requests Transport Adapters.

Similar questions:

• Is there a canonical mapping between the essential and non-essential fs interfaces and REST-style resources.
• What patterns of Create-Read-Update-Delete actions with resources and metadata are most appropriate for HTTP request methods (GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, OPTIONS, CONNECT, PATCH) and HTTP response status codes?
• What aspects of these approaches to sharing files and metadata cannot be mapped to: CMIS and/or (URIs, RDF and Linked Data Platform (LDP) 1.0)?

... Was looking for something like requests-cache or httpcache. TIL about about Transport Adapters for requests. Thanks.
