HTTP
|
||
****
|
||
|
||
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for
|
||
distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the
|
||
foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web.
|
||
|
||
Requests
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
Python’s standard urllib2 module provides most of the HTTP capabilities you
|
||
need, but the API is thoroughly broken. It was built for a different time —
|
||
and a different web. It requires an enormous amount of work (even method
|
||
overrides) to perform the simplest of tasks.
|
||
|
||
Requests takes all of the work out of Python HTTP — making your integration
|
||
with web services seamless. There’s no need to manually add query strings to
|
||
your URLs, or to form-encode your POST data. Keep-alive and HTTP connection
|
||
pooling are 100% automatic, powered by urllib3, which is embedded within
|
||
Requests.

ZeroMQ
|
||
------
|
||
|
||
ØMQ (also spelled ZeroMQ, 0MQ or ZMQ) is a high-performance asynchronous
|
||
messaging library aimed at use in scalable distributed or concurrent
|
||
applications. It provides a message queue, but unlike message-oriented
|
||
middleware, a ØMQ system can run without a dedicated message broker. The
|
||
library is designed to have a familiar socket-style API.
|
||
|
||
RabbitMQ
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
RabbitMQ is an open source message broker software that implements the Advanced
|
||
Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP). The RabbitMQ server is written in the Erlang
|
||
programming language and is built on the Open Telecom Platform framework for
|
||
clustering and failover. Client libraries to interface with the broker are
|
||
available for all major programming languages.
