AsyncClient -missing method prepare_request

[stevstrong]

Hi there,

I am trying to port the "Prepared Request" example from this link: https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/ using httpx AsnycClient.

from requests import Request, Session

s = Session()
req = Request('GET',  url, data=data, headers=headers)

prepped = s.prepare_request(req)

# do something with prepped.body
prepped.body = 'Seriously, send exactly these bytes.'

# do something with prepped.headers
prepped.headers['Keep-Dead'] = 'parrot'

resp = s.send(prepped,
    stream=stream,
    verify=verify,
    proxies=proxies,
    cert=cert,
    timeout=timeout
)

print(resp.status_code)

But I could not find any method to prepare the request. In particular, it seems that "prepare_request" method is not implemented.

Can anyone tell me how do I prepare requests using AsyncClient?
Is it eventually possible to prepare the request with prepare method of requests lib and send it with AsyncCLient()?

Any hint is much appreciated.

I just read this https://www.python-httpx.org/compatibility/#request-instantiation and this.
So I think this topic is moot.
