httptools is a Python binding for the nodejs HTTP parser.

The package is available on PyPI: `pip install httptools`.

# APIs

httptools contains two classes `httptools.HttpRequestParser`,
`httptools.HttpResponseParser` (fulfilled through
[llhttp](https://github.com/nodejs/llhttp)) and a function for
parsing URLs `httptools.parse_url` (through
[http-parse](https://github.com/nodejs/http-parser) for now).
See unittests for examples.

```python

class HttpRequestParser:

def __init__(self, protocol):
"""HttpRequestParser

protocol -- a Python object with the following methods
(all optional):

- on_message_begin()
- on_url(url: bytes)
- on_header(name: bytes, value: bytes)
- on_headers_complete()
- on_body(body: bytes)
- on_message_complete()
- on_chunk_header()
- on_chunk_complete()
- on_status(status: bytes)
"""

def get_http_version(self) -> str:
"""Return an HTTP protocol version."""

def should_keep_alive(self) -> bool:
"""Return ``True`` if keep-alive mode is preferred."""

def should_upgrade(self) -> bool:
"""Return ``True`` if the parsed request is a valid Upgrade request.
The method exposes a flag set just before on_headers_complete.
Calling this method earlier will only yield `False`.
"""

def feed_data(self, data: bytes):
"""Feed data to the parser.

Will eventually trigger callbacks on the ``protocol``
object.

On HTTP upgrade, this method will raise an
``HttpParserUpgrade`` exception, with its sole argument
set to the offset of the non-HTTP data in ``data``.
"""

def get_method(self) -> bytes:
"""Return HTTP request method (GET, HEAD, etc)"""

class HttpResponseParser:

"""Has all methods except ``get_method()`` that
HttpRequestParser has."""

def get_status_code(self) -> int:
"""Return the status code of the HTTP response"""

def parse_url(url: bytes):
"""Parse URL strings into a structured Python object.

Returns an instance of ``httptools.URL`` class with the
following attributes:

- schema: bytes
- host: bytes
- port: int
- path: bytes
- query: bytes
- fragment: bytes
- userinfo: bytes
