httpx SKILL.md skillA
httpx from codeatcode/oss-ai-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add codeatcode/oss-ai-skills/httpx@v2.0.0Pins v2.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when making HTTP requests in Python with httpx - sync and async clients, connection pooling, timeouts, HTTP/2, retry patterns, transport configuration, or choosing between httpx/requests/aiohttp.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> **Objective:** Use this skill to prevent connection leaks, hung requests, and duplicate side effects in HTTP clients by enforcing timeouts, session reuse, and idempotent retry patterns.
# httpx
Modern HTTP client with sync/async APIs, HTTP/2, and production-grade features.
## Quick Start
```python
import httpx
# Always use timeouts in production
timeout = httpx.Timeout(
connect=5.0, # Connection establishment
read=30.0, # Response body read
write=10.0, # Request body write
pool=5.0 # Connection pool acquisition
)
with httpx.Client(timeout=timeout) as client:
response = client.get("https://api.example.com/data")
print(response.status_code)
print(response.json())
```
See [Quick Start](https://www.python-httpx.org/quickstart/) for basic request patterns.
## Production Configuration
### Timeouts (Mandatory)
The most common production failure is `httpx.get(url)` with no timeout—a hung server holds the connection forever.
```python
import httpx
# Configure once on the client, reuse across requests
timeout = httpx.Timeout(
connect=5.0, # Fails if TCP handshake exceeds this

How to install
mdr add codeatcode/oss-ai-skills/httpx@sha256:358cb4ac2cd743eeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
