HTTP client for Elixir, based on HTTPotion
HTTPoison uses hackney to execute HTTP requests instead of ibrowse. I like hackney 👍
Using hackney we work only with binaries instead of string lists.
iex> HTTPoison.start
:ok
iex> HTTPoison.get "http://localhost:4000"
HTTPoison.Response[body: "...", headers: [{"Connection","Keep-Alive"}...], status_code: 200]
iex> HTTPoison.get "http://localhost:1"
** (HTTPoison.HTTPError) econnrefused
You can also extend it to make cool API clients or something (this example uses jsex for JSON):
defmodule GitHub do
use HTTPoison.Base
def process_url(url) do
"https://api.github.com/" <> url
end
def process_response_body(body) do
json = JSEX.decode! body
json = Enum.map json, fn ({k, v}) -> { binary_to_atom(k), v } end
json
end
end
iex> GitHub.start
iex> GitHub.get("users/myfreeweb").body[:public_repos]
37And now with async!
iex> HTTPoison.get "http://floatboth.com", [], [stream_to: self]
HTTPoison.AsyncResponse[id: #Reference<0.0.0.608>]
iex> flush
HTTPoison.AsyncStatus[id: #Reference<0.0.0.608>, code: 200]
HTTPoison.AsyncHeaders[id: #Reference<0.0.0.608>,
headers: [{"Server", "cloudflare-nginx"}, {"Date", "Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:54:24 GMT"}, {"Content-Type", "text/html; charset=utf-8"}, {"Transfer-Encoding", "chunked"}, {"Connection", "keep-alive"},
{"Set-Cookie", "__cfduid=d845959e83669e83df85ce135a9585c031388339664499; expires=Mon, 23-Dec-2019 23:50:00 GMT; path=/; domain=.floatboth.com; HttpOnly"}, {"CF-RAY", "e485af71dfd0326"}]]
