Key Features
============

- Supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol.
- Supports both client and server Web-Sockets out-of-the-box and avoids
Callback Hell.
- Provides Web-server with middlewares and pluggable routing.


Getting started
===============

Client
------

To get something from the web:

.. code-block:: python

import aiohttp
import asyncio

async def fetch(session, url):
async with session.get(url) as response:
return await response.text()

async def main():
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
html = await fetch(session, 'http://python.org')
print(html)

if __name__ == '__main__':
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())


Server
------

An example using a simple server:

.. code-block:: python

# examples/server_simple.py
from aiohttp import web

async def handle(request):
name = request.match_info.get('name', "Anonymous")
text = "Hello, " + name
return web.Response(text=text)

async def wshandle(request):
ws = web.WebSocketResponse()
await ws.prepare(request)

async for msg in ws:
if msg.type == web.WSMsgType.text:
await ws.send_str("Hello, {}".format(msg.data))
elif msg.type == web.WSMsgType.binary:
await ws.send_bytes(msg.data)
elif msg.type == web.WSMsgType.close:
break

return ws


app = web.Application()
app.add_routes([web.get('/', handle),
web.get('/echo', wshandle),
web.get('/{name}', handle)])

web.run_app(app)

3.5.0b1 (2018-12-20)
==================

Features
--------

- The library type annotations are checked in strict mode now.
- Add support for setting cookies for individual request (`#2387 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/2387>`_)
- Application.add_domain implementation (`#2809 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/2809>`_)
- The default ``app`` in the request returned by ``test_utils.make_mocked_request``
can now have objects assigned to it and retrieved using the ``[]`` operator. (`#3174 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3174>`_)
- Make ``request.url`` accessible when transport is closed. (`#3177 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3177>`_)
- Add zlib_executor_size Response parameter to allow compression to run in a background executor to avoid blocking the main thread and potentially triggering health check failures. (`#3205 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3205>`_)
- Enable users to set `ClientTimeout` in `aiohttp.request` (`#3213 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3213>`_)
- Don't raise a warning if ``NETRC`` environment variable is not set and ``~/.netrc`` file
doesn't exist. (`#3267 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3267>`_)
- Add default logging handler to web.run_app

If the `Application.debug` flag is set and the default logger `aiohttp.access` is used, access logs will now be output using a `stderr` `StreamHandler` if no handlers are attached. Furthermore, if the default logger has no log level set, the log level will be set to `DEBUG`. (`#3324 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3324>`_)
- Add method argument to ``session.ws_connect()``.

Sometimes server API requires a different HTTP method for WebSocket connection establishment.

For example, ``Docker exec`` needs POST. (`#3378 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3378>`_)
- Create a task per request handling. (`#3406 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3406>`_)


Bugfixes
--------

- Enable passing `access_log_class` via `handler_args` (`#3158 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3158>`_)
- Return empty bytes with end-of-chunk marker in empty stream reader. (`#3186 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3186>`_)
- Accept ``CIMultiDictProxy`` instances for ``headers`` argument in ``web.Response``
constructor. (`#3207 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3207>`_)
- Don't uppercase HTTP method in parser (`#3233 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3233>`_)
- Make method match regexp RFC-7230 compliant (`#3235 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3235>`_)
- Add ``app.pre_frozen`` state to properly handle startup signals in sub-applications. (`#3237 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3237>`_)
- Enhanced parsing and validation of helpers.BasicAuth.decode. (`#3239 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3239>`_)
- Change imports from collections module in preparation for 3.8. (`#3258 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3258>`_)
- Ensure Host header is added first to ClientRequest to better replicate browser (`#3265 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3265>`_)
- Fix forward compatibility with Python 3.8: importing ABCs directly from the collections module will not be supported anymore. (`#3273 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3273>`_)
- Keep the query string by `normalize_path_middleware`. (`#3278 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3278>`_)
- Fix missing parameter ``raise_for_status`` for aiohttp.request() (`#3290 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3290>`_)
- Bracket IPv6 addresses in the HOST header (`#3304 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3304>`_)
- Fix default message for server ping and pong frames. (`#3308 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3308>`_)
- Fix tests/test_connector.py typo and tests/autobahn/server.py duplicate loop def. (`#3337 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3337>`_)
- Fix false-negative indicator end_of_HTTP_chunk in StreamReader.readchunk function (`#3361 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3361>`_)
- Release HTTP response before raising status exception (`#3364 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3364>`_)
- Fix task cancellation when ``sendfile()`` syscall is used by static file handling. (`#3383 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3383>`_)
- Fix stack trace for ``asyncio.TimeoutError`` which was not logged, when it is caught
in the handler. (`#3414 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3414>`_)


Improved Documentation
----------------------

- Improve documentation of ``Application.make_handler`` parameters. (`#3152 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3152>`_)
- Fix BaseRequest.raw_headers doc. (`#3215 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3215>`_)
- Fix typo in TypeError exception reason in ``web.Application._handle`` (`#3229 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3229>`_)

- Encourage creation of aiohttp public objects inside a coroutine (`#3331 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3331>`_)
- Drop dead ``Connection.detach()`` and ``Connection.writer``. Both methods were broken
for more than 2 years. (`#3358 <https://github.com/aio-libs/aiohttp/pull/3358>`_)
