# `http` — HTTP modules

Source code: Lib/http/__init__.py

`http` is a package that collects several modules for working with the HyperText Transfer Protocol:

- `http.client` is a low-level HTTP protocol client; for high-level URL opening use `urllib.request`

- `http.server` contains basic HTTP server classes based on `socketserver`

- `http.cookies` has utilities for implementing state management with cookies

- `http.cookiejar` provides persistence of cookies

The `http` module also defines the following enums that help you work with http related code:

class http.HTTPStatus

  3.5 sürümünde geldi.

  A subclass of `enum.IntEnum` that defines a set of HTTP status codes, reason phrases and long descriptions written in English.

  Usage:

      >>> from http import HTTPStatus
      >>> HTTPStatus.OK
      HTTPStatus.OK
      >>> HTTPStatus.OK == 200
      True
      >>> HTTPStatus.OK.value
      200
      >>> HTTPStatus.OK.phrase
      'OK'
      >>> HTTPStatus.OK.description
      'Request fulfilled, document follows'
      >>> list(HTTPStatus)
      [HTTPStatus.CONTINUE, HTTPStatus.SWITCHING_PROTOCOLS, ...]
