Reading and writing headers

The bareUtils module bareutils.header provides constants and helper functions for dealing with ASGI headers.

More information can be found in the api.

The most common function is find_header.

import asyncio
from bareclient import HttpClient
from bareutils import response_code, header

async def main(url):
    async with HttpClient(url, method='GET') as response:
        if response.status_code == response_code.OK and response.body:
            content_type = header.find(b'content-type', response.headers)
            if content_type == b'text/html':
                async for part in response.body:
                    print(part)

asyncio.run(main('https://docs.python.org/3/library/cgi.html'))

Note how the header names an values are byte strings.

Some helper functions have been provide for the common headers: e.g. content_type.
