📍 Detailed Timeline

✅ v0.1.0: Baseline (WHAT WORKS NOW)

Current released version. Verified base functionalities.

Core HTTP & Session

  • [x] Basic GET and POST requests.

  • [x] Custom headers and body (str/bytes).

  • [x] Response parsing (status, case-insensitive headers, body).

  • [x] Chunked transfer encoding support.

  • [x] Session with automatic Cookies handling.

  • [x] Persistent headers in Session.

Transport & Async

  • [x] LIFO Connection Pooling per host.

  • [x] Dual Architecture: Native Async + Sync wrappers.

  • [x] Default TLS (using ssl.create_default_context).

  • [x] Basic dead connection detection (is_usable).

Special Features

  • [x] WebSocket Client RFC 6455 (handshake, text/binary frames, masking).

  • [x] Response Streaming (iter_content, iter_lines).

  • [x] Complete Exception Hierarchy (ReqivoError, ConnectTimeout, etc.).

🚧 v0.2.0: HTTP/1.1 Robustness (IN PROGRESS)

Goal: Close fundamental gaps before adding new features.

Parser & Protocol

  • [ ] Duplicate headers handling (e.g., multiple Set-Cookie).

  • [ ] Configurable size limits (headers and body) for security.

  • [ ] Automatic redirects (3xx codes).

  • [ ] Redirect loop detection.

Resource Management

  • [ ] Differentiated timeouts: real connect_timeout vs read_timeout.

  • [ ] Strict enforcement of Connection Pool limits (block/reject).

  • [ ] Active cleanup of expired connections in the pool.

  • [ ] Test coverage at 97%.

🔮 v0.3.0: Ergonomics

Goal: Improve Developer Experience (DX).

  • [ ] Streaming Uploads: Send large files as iterables.

  • [ ] Hooks System: pre_request and post_response interceptors.

  • [ ] Global Config: base_url, default_timeout in Session.

  • [ ] WebSocket: Auto-reconnect and frame limits.

  • [ ] Helpers: put, delete, patch methods.

🔮 v0.4.0: Advanced Security

Goal: Capabilities needed for enterprise environments.

  • [ ] Mutual TLS (mTLS): Support for client certificates.

  • [ ] Certificate Pinning: Fingerprint validation.

  • [ ] Custom SSL Context: Allow custom SSL contexts.

  • [ ] Digest Auth: RFC 7616 support.

  • [ ] Verification Control: verify=False options or path to CA bundle.

🔮 v0.5.0: Observability & Production

Goal: Auditing and confidence.

  • [ ] Structured Logging: Semantic logs with data sanitization.

  • [ ] Internal Metrics: Counters for requests, errors, pool stats.

  • [ ] Int Mock Server: Integrated test utilities.

  • [ ] Benchmarks: Automated performance suite.

🔮 v1.0.0: Stable Release

Final goal for the first major version.

  • HTTP/2 Support (Experimental/Beta).

  • Stable and frozen API.

  • Complete Documentation (API Reference, Guides).

  • 100% compliance with previous milestones.

🚫 Out of Current Roadmap

Features explicitly NOT being developed for now.

  • HTTP/3 (QUIC) - Requires complex dependencies.

  • Web Framework (Server) - Reqivo is only a client.

  • Brotli Compression - Requires external dependencies.

  • Python < 3.9 Support - EOL.
