[Twisted-web] HTTP(S) Client with authentication support

[Bruno Harbulot]

Hello,

I'm new to Twisted, and I'd like to know if there is any HTTP(S) Client 
API that would support various authentication methods and strategies. By 
'strategy', I mean that, ideally, the client application could define 
some sort of 'strategies' to tell the client API what to reply when 
challenged with an HTTP 401 Unauthorized response code.
I guess that's feasible using HTTP Basic authentication, but I'd also 
like to be able to define when to send a client certificate for 
authentication to an HTTPS server than wants or requires it.
Could some of these goals be achieved with Twisted.Web or Twisted.Web2? 
I'm not sure where to find documentation on the subject. I'd appreciate 
any pointers or suggestions.

Best wishes,

Bruno.
