Web Clients
The most common way to interact with the Web is through a web browser. But as more data and services are made available on the Web, it's important to be able to write web clients that can communicate with web servers through HTTP. This chapter shows how to use the twisted.web.client module to interact with web resources, including downloading pages, using HTTP authentication, uploading files, and working with HTTP headers.
