IIRC somewhere on the Python mailing list archives there's an email about whether to add the HTTP redirect handling and then SSL support - code to urllib, urllib2, or create urllib or httplib. How does performance compare to HTTPX, does it support HTTP 1.1 request pipelining, does it support HTTP/2 or HTTP/3?
