+This directory contains minimal examples of HTTP clients implemented in Python using various libraries. Each of these clients:
 1. Sends an HTTP GET request to a server.
 2. Receives an HTTP 200 response from the server, with the response body containing an Arrow IPC stream of record batches.
 3. Adds the record batches to a list as they are received.

+# HTTP GET Arrow Data: Simple Python Client Example with `urllib.request`

+This directory contains minimal examples of HTTP servers implemented in Python using various libraries. Each of these servers:
 1. Creates a list of record batches and populates it with synthesized data.
 2. Listens for HTTP GET requests from clients.
 3. Upon receiving a request, sends an HTTP 200 response with the body containing an Arrow IPC stream of record batches.

-> [!NOTE]  
-> This example uses Python's built-in [`http.server`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/http.server.html) module. This allows us to implement [chunked transfer encoding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding) manually. Other servers may implement chunked transfer encoding automatically at the cost of an undesirable new layer of buffering. Arrow IPC streams already offer a natural way of chunking large amounts of tabular data. It's not a general requirement, but in this example each chunk corresponds to one Arrow record batch.
