I would been pleased to see this project named something else, maybe “httpx-ng” or “httpy” as I immediately link “http*2” with the obsolete http/2 protocol and not the httpx project.

By what definition is HTTP/2 considered obsolete? Are you suggesting it's been supplanted by H3?

(FWIW I agree w/ your objection to the "httpx2" name.)

There is already a popular project called httpie, so httpy would be really confusing in non written form. Beside that, i completely agree, the name could be better.

I agree, the brain built in error correction makes it harder to read

httpy is actually twofold cool for a Python HTTP client!
