Description: 
        
        A comprehensive HTTP client library, ``httplib2`` 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 three types of HTTP Authentication are supported. These can be used over both HTTP and HTTPS.
        
        * Digest
        * Basic
        * WSSE
        
        **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. Both file system
        and memcached based caches are supported.
        
        
        **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.
