HTTP with Python

See HTTP for what it is: lines of text on a TCP connection. You will write a request by hand, read the reply byte by byte, build a small JSON API server with the standard library, add redirects, cookies, caching, and authentication yourself, and then use requests, httpx, and FastAPI knowing exactly what each one does for you.
You need Networks with Python first: TCP connections with timeouts, framed messages, servers that stop on purpose, and socket code tested with a fake connection. Python Fundamentals II is recommended, not required: some supplied files contain classes, which the lessons explain, and you never have to write one.
You work in the site's terminal and project editor, in a sandbox with no route to the public internet. No real website is contacted: your clients talk to one internal practice service and to loopback servers you write yourself. One project, a reading-list service and its client, grows from Chapter 4 to the capstone.
