I'm currently using aiohttp. There is features I don't find in butterfly docs like : limit connection, limit connection per host or per time frame.

Do you know if those exist in butterfly?

I'm already deep in aiohttp and it's not an easy task to learn an async client (at least in my case, but I'm no dev) so if I do switch it would be for more features (retry option on exceptions, limit requests per host and per time frame...). But that's only my opinion.

I prototyped moving to aiohttp from requests/multiprocessing. The speedup was amazing. Saw something like a 60% reduction in runtime for our use case. Only reason the code hasn't gone live: we currently use requests_negotiate_sspi for authentication, which sadly isn't supported by aiohttp. Not sure if httpx supports it. Looks like it might. Planning on giving it a shot next week.

We don’t have any third party packages for that authentication style yet, but we do have an API for supporting custom auth flows... https://www.python-httpx.org/advanced/#customizing-authentic...

If you’re interested in trying httpx you’d be very welcome to raise an issue an issue related to NTLM/Negotiate authentication - it’d be really helpful for us to work through that and figure out if our auth API is sufficient for implementing that, or if there’s anything we’re missing.

Thanks, will do.
