It's designed to close the gap between AIOHTTP and HTTPX's testing capabilities, letting you test ASGI apps by making async HTTP calls that bypass the network stack entirely.\n\nThe connector replaces AIOHTTP's entire connection and transport layer. You instantiate it with your ASGI app, pass it to ClientSession, and then use the session normally\u2014requests are serialized by AIOHTTP and fed directly to the app. Exceptions raised in the app propagate back to your test code. The main limitation is that if you enable chunking or compression on the ClientSession, your ASGI app must handle decompression itself, since the connector transmits requests exactly as AIOHTTP serializes them.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you're already using AIOHTTP and testing ASGI applications. It's a low-friction, permissive-licensed tool that solves a specific problem well. The aging maintenance status (418 days since last release) is a minor concern for a stable, narrow-scope library, but monitor the repository for responsiveness if you encounter issues."},"id":"aiohttp-asgi-connector","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-asgi-connector","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-asgi-connector.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp-asgi-connector/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiohttp-asgi-connector","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"AIOHTTP Connector for running ASGI applications"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":120850,"position":12007,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.2"}
