class httk.core.datastream.bytestream_request_view.BytestreamRequestView(obj: httk.core.datastream.bytestream_like.BytestreamLike, **hints: Any)

Bases: httk.core.datastream.bytestream_view.BytestreamView, urllib.request.Request

A view presenting an underlying data streaming backend via a urllib.request.Request. This view is mostly useful for providing a Request to functions that will open it. Note: this view is not lazy (it does not fetch); it only mirrors the underlying request/URL.

Raises TypeError if created with a streaming data source that does not come with a URL.

unwrap() → Any

Return the most raw representation possible of this view, i.e., if it uses a backend with an internal representaion - or if it can (possibly lossly) convert itself into a more raw representation that still would be recognized as a <Something>Like type, that representation will be returned. If this is not possible, the instance itself is returned.
