# About HTTPS { #about-https }

It is easy to assume that HTTPS is something that is just "enabled" or not.

But it is way more complex than that.

/// tip

If you are in a hurry or don't care, continue with the next sections for step by step instructions to set everything up with different techniques.

These are the exceptions that you can raise to show errors to the client.

When you raise an exception, as would happen with normal Python, the rest of the execution is aborted. This way you can raise these exceptions from anywhere in the code to abort a request and show the error to the client.

You can use:

* `HTTPException`
* `WebSocketException`

This means entire plugins can be enabled and disabled without having to manually edit individual extension point settings.
These extension points can now be abstracted away due to their irrelevance for most users.

### CSI Migration updates

 Unified source directory structure that is analogous to the repository
 itself. This way locations of intermediary artifacts of a build would be
 in a known location. This would also help with developer setup i.e. getting
 new developers up and running. They could run a maven command and have all
 their source trees set up in the same way as their colleagues.

 here's what I do currently in the netbeans part of the mavenide project to

We can do better...

## What makes a dependency { #what-makes-a-dependency }

Up to now you have seen dependencies declared as functions.

But that's not the only way to declare dependencies (although it would probably be the more common).

The key factor is that a dependency should be a "callable".

A "**callable**" in Python is anything that Python can "call" like a function.

But at some point, there was no other option than creating something that provided all these features, taking the best ideas from previous tools, and combining them in the best way possible, using language features that weren't even available before (Python 3.6+ type hints).

## Previous tools { #previous-tools }

        "tax": 3.2
    },
    "user": {
        "username": "dave",
        "full_name": "Dave Grohl"
    }
}
```

/// note

Notice that even though the `item` was declared the same way as before, it is now expected to be inside of the body with a key `item`.

///

**FastAPI** will do the automatic conversion from the request, so that the parameter `item` receives its specific content and the same for `user`.

```

The parameter values in your function will be:

* `skip=20`: because you set it in the URL
* `limit=10`: because that was the default value

## Optional parameters { #optional-parameters }

The same way, you can declare optional query parameters, by setting their default to `None`:
