May 23, 2022๐ Changed
- โฌ๏ธ Drop support for Python 3.6. (#2097)
- ๐ Use
utf-8
as the default character set, instead of falling back tocharset-normalizer
for auto-detection. To enable automatic character set detection, see the documentation. (#2165)
๐ Fixed
- ๐ Fix
URL.copy_with
for some oddly formed URL cases. (#2185) - Digest authentication should use case-insensitive comparison for determining which algorithm is being used. (#2204)

iter_bytes
never yields zero-length chunks. (#2068) - โฌ๏ธ Preserve
Authorization
header for redirects that are to the same origin, but are anhttp
-to-https
upgrade. (#2074) - ๐จ When responses have binary output, don't print the output to the console in the command line client. Use output like
<16086 bytes of binary data>
instead. (#2076) - ๐ Fix display of
--proxies
argument in the command line client help. (#2125) - Close responses when task cancellations occur during stream reading. (#2156)

v0.21.0 Changes
November 15, 2021๐ The 0.21.0 release integrates against a newly redesigned
httpcore
backend.โก๏ธ Both packages ought to automatically update to the required versions, but if you are seeing any issues, you should ensure that you have
httpx==0.21.*
andhttpcore==0.14.*
installed.โ Added
- The command-line client will now display connection information when
-v/--verbose
is used. - The command-line client will now display server certificate information when
-v/--verbose
is used. - The command-line client is now able to properly detect if the outgoing request should be formatted as HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2, based on the result of the HTTP/2 negotiation.
โ Removed
- ๐ Curio support is no longer currently included. Please get in touch if you require this, so that we can assess priorities.
- The command-line client will now display connection information when

v0.20.0 Changes
October 13, 2021๐ The 0.20.0 release adds an integrated command-line client, and also includes some design changes. The most notable of these is that redirect responses are no longer automatically followed, unless specifically requested.
This design decision prioritises a more explicit approach to redirects, in order to avoid code that unintentionally issues multiple requests as a result of misconfigured URLs.
๐ง For example, previously a client configured to send requests to
http://api.github.com/
would end up sending every API request twice, as each request would be redirected tohttps://api.github.com/
.๐ง If you do want auto-redirect behaviour, you can enable this either by configuring the client instance with
Client(follow_redirects=True)
, or on a per-request basis, with.get(..., follow_redirects=True)
.This change is a classic trade-off between convenience and precision, with no "right" ๐ answer. See discussion #1785 for more context.
โก๏ธ The other major design change is an update to the Transport API, which is the low-level interface against which requests are sent. Previously this interface used only primitive datastructures, like so...
(status_code, headers, stream, extensions) = transport.handle_request(method, url, headers, stream, extensions) try ... finally: stream.close()
Now the interface is much simpler...
response = transport.handle_request(request) try ... finally: response.close()
๐ Changed
- The
allow_redirects
flag is nowfollow_redirects
and defaults toFalse
. - The
raise_for_status()
method will now raise an exception for any responses except those with 2xx status codes. Previously only 4xx and 5xx status codes would result in an exception. - The low-level transport API changes to the much simpler
response = transport.handle_request(request)
. - โฑ The
client.send()
method no longer accepts atimeout=...
argument, but theclient.build_request()
does. This required by the signature change of the Transport API. The request timeout configuration is now stored on the request instance, asrequest.extensions['timeout']
.
โ Added
- โ Added the
httpx
command-line client. - Response instances now include
.is_informational
,.is_success
,.is_redirect
,.is_client_error
, and.is_server_error
properties for checking 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, and 5xx response types. Note that the behaviour of.is_redirect
is slightly different in that it now returns True for all 3xx responses, in order to allow for a consistent set of properties onto the different HTTP status code types. Theresponse.has_redirect_location
location may be used to determine responses with properly formed URL redirects.
๐ Fixed
response.iter_bytes()
no longer raises a ValueError when called on a response with no content. (Pull #1827)- ๐ง The
'wsgi.error'
configuration now defaults tosys.stderr
, and is corrected to be aTextIO
interface, not aBytesIO
interface. Additionally, the WSGITransport now accepts awsgi_error
configuration. (Pull #1828) - Follow the WSGI spec by properly closing the iterable returned by the application. (Pull #1830)
