+"""RDAP: which registry to ask, how to ask it, and how to read the answer.
+
+This is the first module in abusectl that opens a socket. Everything that
+looks defensive here is defensive because of that.
+
+The network entry point is a single `fetch` callable, passed as an argument
+everywhere above it and defaulting to `http_fetch` below. Tests pass a fake
+and never construct the real one, which is what keeps the whole suite
+passing with socket.socket, socket.create_connection and socket.getaddrinfo
+all raising. A network module that can only be tested with a network is a
+module that stops being tested.
+
+Redirects are capped and an https to http downgrade is refused, because a
+redirect is remote data directing our next request. This follows the
+discipline _MAX_REDIRECT_DEPTH already sets in parse.py.
