Dear Jeff and other sudsers,<div><br></div><div>Since I started using suds some months ago I found out about the integrated urllib2 transport in suds, which doesn&#39;t have a keepalive (limitation of urllib2). Like others,  I also wanted decompression and some other things. And I wrote my own transport too.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Some other custom transports have been shared over the mailing list and suggestions about using urllib3 and httplib2 as the underlying libraries.</div><div><br></div><div>Since I saw limitations in both approaches and wanted a different approach, I engaged into developing a library that could give me the desired transport for suds.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have finally today uploaded the library to a googlecode site (although development happens using git over gitorious if you want to clone the repository)</div><div><br></div><div>The project is called <b><i>HttxLib</i></b> and hosted at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/httxlib/">http://code.google.com/p/httxlib/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://code.google.com/p/httxlib/"></a>In the download section (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/httxlib/downloads/list">http://code.google.com/p/httxlib/downloads/list</a>) you will find:</div>
<div><ul><li>Source code + doc</li><li>Source code only</li><li>Doc only</li></ul><div>The source code includes:</div></div><div><ul><li>The library</li><li>A suds transport called HttxTrans</li><li>Some basic examples</li>
</ul><div>The transport supports out of the box:</div></div><div><ul><li>Compression</li><li>Authentication (Basic tested, I would gracefully have Digest tested by someone with access to digest authenticating servers)</li>
<li>Cookies</li><li>Client Certificates and Server Certificate validation if wished</li><li>Redirection (to external sites too)</li><li>Multithread safe</li><li>Multiple transparent simultaneous connections to the same site</li>
</ul><div>The library is an attempt to take where other libraries have left</div></div><div><br></div><div>I would welcome any feedback (you can of course use the googlecode issue tracker)</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards</div>
