Feat/httpx sync client - #57
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds ChangesSynchronous HTTP client
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new synchronous transport can automatically repeat payment-changing POST requests after a 429 without a validated idempotency key, potentially duplicating a payment after an ambiguous server outcome; some transport failures also expose a different exception type than callers expect. Merge readiness is high risk until retry safety and the error contract are fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

|
| Branch | Behavior before | Behavior now |
|---|---|---|
| Transport error (ConnectError / TimeoutException) | Retried for any method | Retried only if safe_to_retry |
| 429 Rate Limit | Retried for any method | Still retried for any method — a 429 proves the server declined to process the request, so no side effect occurred |
5xx via _parse_response |
Never actually retried (see secondary bug) | Retried only if safe_to_retry AND _is_retryable_status(exc.status_code) |
4. Fix for the secondary NetworkError/_is_retryable_status gap
In the post-parse branch, the retryability check is now:
retryable = _is_retryable_error(exc)
if not retryable and isinstance(exc, ShadeError):
retryable = _is_retryable_status(exc.status_code or 0)This lets 502/503/504 wrapped as NetworkError (carrying a status_code attribute) still be correctly classified as retryable when the overall idempotency policy allows it.
5. 13 new tests in TestIdempotencySafeRetry (test_http_client.py):
test_get_5xx_is_retried,test_patch_5xx_is_retried,test_delete_5xx_is_retried— idempotent methods still get 5xx retriestest_post_5xx_is_not_retried— non-idempotent POST raises on first 502 (no retry, NetworkError immediately)test_post_5xx_is_retried_when_idempotency_key_present— the explicit opt-in restores full retriestest_post_429_is_always_retried+ with idempotency key variant — 429s are always safetest_post_transport_error_is_not_retried— ConnectError on a payment POST is NOT retried (1 attempt only)test_post_transport_error_is_retried_with_idempotency_key— opt-in fixes thistest_get_transport_error_is_retried— GET TimeoutException retries 2nd attempttest_idempotency_key_header_case_insensitive—"idempotency-key"lowercase acceptedtest_post_exhausts_retries_with_idempotency_key— 1st + 2 retries = 3 total withmax_retries=2test_extra_headers_are_merged— per-request X-Custom composes with Accept/Authorization/etc defaults
Also had to update 1 pre-existing test assertion in test_gateway.py:19-25 because _http.post() now explicitly passes headers=None through.

Design Notes
- No changes to
_is_retryable_error/_parse_responseinhttp.py. Those helpers drive other paths (AsyncHTTPClient, standalone urllib SyncHTTPClient, ShadeClient.request via HTTPXTransport) that aren't in scope and would have deserved their own review. Fixing theNetworkErrorstatus-code lookup insidehttp_client.pyis the smallest surface that still makes retries work end-to-end. - PUT was marked idempotent (per RFC 9110 it replaces the target resource state). If the Shade API diverges from that convention in future, remove it from the set.
PATCHwas marked idempotent per current SDK convention; most REST-style update endpoints are. Same caveat as above applies.- Duplicate payment-prevention relies entirely on Idempotency-Key semantics at the server. The wrapper sends the header through to httpx verbatim; it does not synthesize or validate key values. To call
process_paymentwith retries, you'd extendGateway.process_paymentto accept anidempotency_keyparameter and thread it throughself._http.post(..., headers={"Idempotency-Key": ...})— that's a separate public-API change not requested here. - The
_SyncHTTPClient._http.request()method signature now has an extra parameter (headers=None). It's internal-only (name starts with underscore on the class, class itself is private) and the Gateway/resource paths don't break because they either don't mockrequest()or they explicitly expect the kwargs. Only one test assertion needed updating, which was done.

In `@src/shade/http_client.py`:
- Around line 145-150: Update _merge_headers to compare header names
case-insensitively using casefold(), so extra values replace existing keys
regardless of casing and None values remove the matching existing header;
preserve the current merge behavior for new headers and unrelated keys.
- Around line 224-228: Update the request flow around _build_full_url and
_headers so cleartext HTTP API bases are rejected before constructing or sending
bearer credentials. Require HTTPS for non-local API bases, while allowing
explicitly permitted local-test endpoints only if Authorization is withheld.
- Around line 121-122: Remove "PATCH" from the _IDEMPOTENT_METHODS frozenset so
request() does not automatically retry PATCH operations; leave the other method
entries unchanged.

the expectations for unkeyed PATCH, POST-429, and keyed POST behavior.

the 429 branch that bypasses the retry-safety decision.

- Around line 604-612: Update the test helper flow around
_call_counting_responses so it does not access responses[0].request when _resp()
creates a response without an attached request; pass the intended HTTP method
explicitly or ensure _resp() attaches an httpx.Request, and avoid relying on the
broad exception handler to mask this failure.

Files Changed
New files:
_SyncHTTPClientclass wrappinghttpx.ClientModified files:
ShadeClient._httpnow uses_SyncHTTPClient;close()shuts it down_request()passesjson=payload(kwargs) instead of positionalprocess_payment()callsself._http.post(..., json=...)Key Architectural Changes
Dependency direction:
The old
SyncHTTPClient(urllib-based) remains intact in http.py and still exported from the package for backward compatibility with any external code importing it directly. OnlyShadeClient._httpwas switched to the new internal wrapper.Shared Client Lifecycle
_SyncHTTPClient(and thus onehttpx.Client) is instantiated insideShadeClient.__init__. The same object is referenced by everyBaseResourcebuilt on that client — not created per-call.client._http is resource_a.client._http is resource_b.client._http(identity, not equality).ShadeClient.close()callsself._http.close()first, which tears down the underlyinghttpx.Client. The existingHTTPXTransport.close()still runs after. Context-manager__exit__delegates toclose().reset_default_client()already callsclient.close(), so the cached global client shuts down cleanly.Headers / Authentication
All header construction is centralized in
_SyncHTTPClient._headers(). Resources never construct headers themselves:AuthorizationBearer {resolved_api_key}Acceptapplication/jsonUser-Agentshade-python/{__version__}— read fromshade.__version__, never hard-codedContent-Typeapplication/jsonCredentials / env / base URL are resolved at request time via
get_config()(the existing convention), so clients tracking the global config continue to follow latershade.api_key/shade.environment/shade.api_baseassignments. Setters onShadeClientpropagate the same way.URLs are combined via
_build_full_url(base, path)that strips trailing slashes on the base and leading slashes on the path, so("https://a/", "/b"),("https://a", "b"), and("https://a/", "b")all producehttps://a/b.Error Handling & Retries
Responses pass through the existing single funnel
http._parse_response(response)— the same one the rest of the SDK uses — guaranteeing identical mapping of HTTP 400/401/403/404/422/429/5xx →InvalidRequestError,AuthenticationError,NotFoundError,RateLimitError,NetworkError,HTTPError. Retry semantics (429 + Retry-After, 502/503/504 exponential back-off, transport errors likeConnectError) reuse the existing helpers (_is_retryable_error,_parse_retry_after,_retry_delay,_BASE_BACKOFF) so behavior is unchanged versus the old urllib client.Remaining Assumptions / Concerns
__all__exports — The oldSyncHTTPClientandAsyncHTTPClient(urllib/aiohttp) remain exported for backward compat. The new_SyncHTTPClientis intentionally internal (underscore prefix, absent from__all__). If you want the old ones removed from public API as well (not required by the issue), that's a separate breaking change.AsyncHTTPClientwas not touched — the issue scope is sync-only. Async still usesaiohttp, which i would solve in the other issue that i was assigned.HTTPXTransport(self._client) was left alone; it's used byShadeClient.request()for callers who want rawhttpx.Responseobjects and was explicitly out of scope for the resource-methods wrapper.Closes #7
