httplib2-py _unstable_ port information

Info2: <<

Package: httplib2-py%type_pkg[python]
Version: 0.4.0
Revision: 1
Description: Another httplib for python
DescDetail: <<
A comprehensive HTTP client library, httplib2.py supports many
features left out of other HTTP libraries.

HTTP and HTTPS
HTTPS support is only available if the socket module was compiled
with SSL support.

Keep-Alive
Supports HTTP 1.1 Keep-Alive, keeping the socket open and
performing multiple requests over the same connection if possible.

Authentication
The following types of HTTP Authentication are supported. These
can be used over both HTTP and HTTPS.

* Digest
* Basic
* WSSE
* HMAC Digest
* Google Account Authentication

Caching
The module can optionally operate with a private cache that
understands the Cache-Control: header and uses both the ETag and
Last-Modified cache validators.

All Methods
The module can handle any HTTP request method, not just GET and POST.

Redirects
Automatically follows 3XX redirects on GETs.

Compression
Handles both 'deflate' and 'gzip' types of compression.

Lost update support
Automatically adds back ETags into PUT requests to resources we
have already cached. This implements Section 3.2 of Detecting the
Lost Update Problem Using Unreserved Checkout

Unit Tested
A large and growing set of unit tests.
