The module provides the following classes:
-.. class:: HTTPConnection(host, port=None, strict=None[, timeout[, source_address]])
+.. class:: HTTPConnection(host, port=None[, strict[, timeout[, source_address]]])
An :class:`HTTPConnection` instance represents one transaction with an HTTP
server. It should be instantiated passing it a host and optional port
number. If no port number is passed, the port is extracted from the host
string if it has the form ``host:port``, else the default HTTP port (80) is
- used. When True, the optional parameter *strict* (which defaults to a false
- value) causes ``BadStatusLine`` to

operations (like connection attempts) will timeout after that many seconds
(if it is not given, the global default timeout setting is used).
