.. class:: HTTPConnection(host[, port[, strict[, timeout]]])
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* causes ``BadStatusLine`` to be raised if the
- status line can't be parsed as a valid HTTP/1.0 or 1.1 status line. If the
- optional *timeout* parameter is given, connection attempts will timeout after
- that many seconds (if it is not given or ``None``, the global default timeout
- setting is used).
