Thanks for contribution.
I added a few remarks and questions, it would be nice to get them resolved.

Generally, it would be cool to follow the existing code style like defining all instance attributes in __init__(), use single quotes for string literals.
Also updating the documentation about the new transport is missing.

Thank you very much for your review. I will answer your question and I will add the documentation as quickly as possible.

edit: Usually I use now the black code style. But I will convert all the double quotes back into single quotes.

@eht16 I changed the code. Can you please review it again.

They released isort 5.0.4 yesterday and removed SortImports. But pylint is still using it.

I know. There is pylint-dev/pylint#3722 and pylint-dev/pylint#3725.
I hope a compatible Pylint version will be released soon.

That's one of the reasons I don't use black: they force people to use their style. I got the main idea of establishing a common code style and that they think double quotes are better or whatever but I'd like to be able to choose. More generally, the lack of configuration options by design in black makes it unusable for me.
So I tend to stick with isort, flake8 and pylint.

Thanks for your changes. Much appreciated.
I got only a few more minor remarks.

[jloehel]

Sorry, I closed it accidentally ^^

I know. There is PyCQA/pylint#3722 and PyCQA/pylint#3725.
I hope a compatible Pylint version will be released soon.

If you want, you can apply the following changes to tox.ini (and commit them) as a temporary workaround to get the checks running again until Pylint is fixed:

@eht16 I added the documentation for the new HttpTransport class and I implemented the requested changes. I will add some tests during this week or maybe next week.

[eht16]

Thanks again for your efforts!
Especially for the great docs and consistently using "TLS" 💯

You are welcome.

@eht16 Sorry, I was busy last week. I added the the requested changes. I hope I'll find some time to implement the tests this week.

[eht16]

Thanks!
The code looks great now.

I'd be fine with merging this and adding the tests later on.

I also finally managed to release a last Python2 release and a brand-new Python3-only release, so existing Python2 users can stick to the old version and everyone else will get newest and hottest Python3-only code :).

Hi @jloehel,

any news?
Fortunately, the isort vs pylint problem has been resolved in the meantime, so the changes in tox.ini are no longer necessary.

Moin moin,

sorry I was some kind of busy the last weeks. I rebased the branch and reverted the isort/py27 commits. May I revert also the type hints and the f-strings?

Yes, fine by me, sorry for the trouble. But at least now we are Python3 only.

Null problemo. ^^ I added the two commits. :-)

Thanks a lot for this feature and your patience with my remarks :).
I squashed most of the commits together to have it a little cleaner in the history and finally merged. Unfortunately, because of the manual squashing, Github doesn't consider this branch as merged but it is.

If you still want to add some tests for the HTTP transport, that'd be fine.
