When would someone use httplib and when urllib?
What are the differences?
I think I ready urllib uses httplib, I am planning to make an app that will need to make http request and so far I only used httplib.HTTPConnection in python for requests, and reading about urllib I see I can use that for request too, so whats the benefit of one or the other?
urllib/urllib2 is built on top of httplib.  It offers more features than writing to httplib directly.
however, httplib gives you finer control over the underlying connections.
Python urllib vs httplib?
