## Unreleased
+### Deprecated
+
+* The `app=...` shortcut has been deprecated. Use the explicit style of `transport=httpx.WSGITransport()` or `transport=httpx.ASGITransport()` instead.
+
### Fixed
* Respect the `http1` argument while configuring proxy transports. (#3023)
This is particularly useful for two main use-cases:
* Using `httpx` as a client inside test cases.
-* Mocking out external services during tests or in dev/staging environments.
+* Mocking out external services during tests or in dev or staging environments.
+
+### Example
Here's an example of integrating against a Flask application:
def hello():
return "Hello World!"
-with httpx.Client(app=app, base_url="http://testserver") as client:
+transport = httpx.WSGITransport(app=app)
+with httpx.Client(transport=transport, base_url="http://testserver") as client:
r = client.get("/")
assert r.status_code == 200
assert r.text == "Hello World!"
```
+### Configuration
+
For some more complex cases you might need to customize the WSGI transport. This allows you to:
* Inspect 500 error responses rather than raise exceptions by setting `raise_app_exceptions=False`.
...
```
+## ASGITransport
+
+You can configure an `httpx` client to call directly into an async Python web application using the ASGI protocol.
+
+This is particularly useful for two main use-cases:
+
+* Using `httpx` as a client inside test cases.
+* Mocking out external services during tests or in dev or staging environments.
+
+### Example
+
+Let's take this Starlette application as an example:
+
+```python
+from starlette.applications import Starlette
+from starlette.responses import HTMLResponse
+from starlette.routing import Route
+
+
+async def hello(request):
+ return HTMLResponse("Hello World!")
+
+
+app = Starlette(routes=[Route("/", hello)])
+```
+
+We can make requests directly against the application, like so:
+
+```python
+transport = httpx.ASGITransport(app=app)
+
+async with httpx.AsyncClient(transport=transport, base_url="http://testserver") as client:
+ r = await client.get("/")
+ assert r.status_code == 200
+ assert r.text == "Hello World!"
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+For some more complex cases you might need to customise the ASGI transport. This allows you to:
+
+* Inspect 500 error responses rather than raise exceptions by setting `raise_app_exceptions=False`.
+* Mount the ASGI application at a subpath by setting `root_path`.
+* Use a given client address for requests by setting `client`.
+
+For example:
+
+```python
+# Instantiate a client that makes ASGI requests with a client IP of "1.2.3.4",
+# on port 123.
+transport = httpx.ASGITransport(app=app, client=("1.2.3.4", 123))
+async with httpx.AsyncClient(transport=transport, base_url="http://testserver") as client:
+ ...
+```
+
+See [the ASGI documentation](https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/specs/www.html#connection-scope) for more details on the `client` and `root_path` keys.
+
+### ASGI startup and shutdown
+
+It is not in the scope of HTTPX to trigger ASGI lifespan events of your app.
+
+However it is suggested to use `LifespanManager` from [asgi-lifespan](https://github.com/florimondmanca/asgi-lifespan#usage) in pair with `AsyncClient`.
+
## Custom transports

## Calling into Python Web Apps
-Just as `httpx.Client` allows you to call directly into WSGI web applications,
-the `httpx.AsyncClient` class allows you to call directly into ASGI web applications.
-
-Let's take this Starlette application as an example:
-
-```python
-from starlette.applications import Starlette
-from starlette.responses import HTMLResponse
-from starlette.routing import Route
-
-
-async def hello(request):
- return HTMLResponse("Hello World!")
-
-
-app = Starlette(routes=[Route("/", hello)])
-```
-
-We can make requests directly against the application, like so:
-
-```pycon
->>> import httpx
->>> async with httpx.AsyncClient(app=app, base_url="http://testserver") as client:
-... r = await client.get("/")
-... assert r.status_code == 200
-... assert r.text == "Hello World!"
-```
-
-For some more complex cases you might need to customise the ASGI transport. This allows you to:
-
-* Inspect 500 error responses rather than raise exceptions by setting `raise_app_exceptions=False`.
-* Mount the ASGI application at a subpath by setting `root_path`.
-* Use a given client address for requests by setting `client`.
-
-For example:
-
-```python
-# Instantiate a client that makes ASGI requests with a client IP of "1.2.3.4",
-# on port 123.
-transport = httpx.ASGITransport(app=app, client=("1.2.3.4", 123))
-async with httpx.AsyncClient(transport=transport, base_url="http://testserver") as client:
- ...
-```
-
-See [the ASGI documentation](https://asgi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/specs/www.html#connection-scope) for more details on the `client` and `root_path` keys.

-## Startup/shutdown of ASGI apps
-
-It is not in the scope of HTTPX to trigger lifespan events of your app.
-
-However it is suggested to use `LifespanManager` from [asgi-lifespan](https://github.com/florimondmanca/asgi-lifespan#usage) in pair with `AsyncClient`.
