HttpRequest allows you to prepare a HTTP payload for use with AsyncVaried, which provides asynchronous requests for varied HTTP methods
Async provides asynchronous requests for a single HTTP method at a time
the verb() method can be used on all the above to request a specific HTTP verb

HttpResponse() has helpers for checking and raising warnings/errors.

content-types details the various options for checking content types and throwing a warning or error if the response content type doesn't match what you expect. Mis-matched content-types are typically a good sign of a bad response. There's methods built in for json, xml and html, with the ability to set any custom content type
raise_for_status() is a method on HttpResponse() that checks the HTTP status code, and errors with the appropriate message for the HTTP status code, optionally using the package fauxpas if it's installed.
