This project is no longer maintained, please find an alternative like HTTPX.
I appreciate the reply.
I should point out that the README gives no indication of this. To the contrary, it even says:
hyper is maintained by Cory Benfield, with contributions from others. For more details about the contributors, please see CONTRIBUTORS.rst.
It might be helpful to you and others to indicate that the project is abandoned to avoid further issues like this.
In case this helps someone else: in parallel, I posted a StackOverflow question about this issue to see whether there is a practical work around, and the suggestion which works for me is to use email.Message.EmailMessage:
The HTTP20Connection.request takes a dictionary of headers. This is problematic because, far as I can tell, this prevents the ability to send a request with duplicate headers (multiple header fields with the same name). The spec explicitly allows for duplicate headers. See for example RFC 7541 section 2.3.2:
h2.H2Connection.send_headers addresses this by taking an iterable of tuples, allowing for duplicates:
Can
request
be updated to allow for the same (i.e., an iterable of tuples)? As a suggestion, I believe this can easily be done in the implementation here:https://github.com/python-hyper/hyper/blob/75f25f73c17a16cb1f2ca7d46f390b0dfe4925dc/hyper/http20/connection.py#L261
We can wrap that in a try/except block, handling
AttributeError
to simply setall_headers
toheaders
. Something like:
