68 | This will send a request to the server using the HTTP request method | |
69 | <var>method</var> and the selector <var>url</var>. If the <var>body</var> argument is | |
70 | present, it should be a string of data to send after the headers are finished. | |
71 | The header Content-Length is automatically set to the correct value. | |
72 | The <var>headers</var> argument should be a mapping of extra HTTP headers to send | |
73 | with the request. | |

115 | As an alternative to using the <tt class="method">request()</tt> method described above, | |
116 | you can also send your request step by step, by using the four functions | |

125 | This should be the first call after the connection to the server has | |
126 | been made. It sends a line to the server consisting of the | |
127 | <var>request</var> string, the <var>selector</var> string, and the HTTP version | |
128 | (<code>HTTP/1.1</code>). To disable automatic sending of <code>Host:</code> or | |
129 | <code>Accept-Encoding:</code> headers (for example to accept additional | |
130 | content encodings), specify <var>skip_host</var> or <var>skip_accept_encoding</var> | |
131 | with non-False values. | |
