Firstly, sorry for the delay, it has been the thanksgiving holiday here and I have not been around.
The code you sent, I have tried removing the streamlit commands and it is not working fine without streamlit as you said:
import http
import bs4
source_txt = 'www.abc.com'
source = http.client.HTTPConnection(source_txt)
page_soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(source, 'html.parser')
I still receive the same error: TypeError: object of type 'HTTPConnection' has no len(). The errors you are running into are not due to streamlit, but due to the http and bs4 packages (I am assuming your using beautiful soup 4 here since you didn’t specify and that’s generally what is recommended from what I can find online).
Based on the http package docs and the beautiful soup 4 docs I believe (again, I have no personal experience with either of these packages) that the source variable is not the right type. It seems this is a <http.client.HTTPConnection object at 0x7fdbff7272e0> which is a <class 'http.client.HTTPConnection'>. So it seems (based on my very limited knowledge), that this is an open connection to the webpage and not the webpage data.
to solve this, i think you need to follow this example from the http package documentation:
>>> import http.client
>>> conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("www.python.org")
>>> conn.request("GET", "/")
>>> r1 = conn.getresponse()
>>> print(r1.status, r1.reason)
200 OK
>>> data1 = r1.read() # This will return entire content.
>>> # The following example demonstrates reading data in chunks.
>>> conn.request("GET", "/")
>>> r1 = conn.getresponse()
>>> while chunk := r1.read(200):
... print(repr(chunk))
b'<!doctype html>\n<!--[if"'...
...
>>> # Example of an invalid request
>>> conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("docs.python.org")
>>> conn.request("GET", "/parrot.spam")
>>> r2 = conn.getresponse()
>>> print(r2.status, r2.reason)
404 Not Found
>>> data2 = r2.read()
>>> conn.close()
