A HTTP server and client.
This package implements the HTTP/1.1 protocol. It supports 'GET' and 'POST' requests with convenience methods, and can be used to implement REST servers.
It has support for HTTPS connections. See the 'tls' examples for details.
import http
import net
main:
network := net.open
client := http.Client network
response := client.get "www.example.com" "/"
data := #[]
while chunk := response.body.read:
data += chunk
print data.to_string
client.close
This example encodes the data to the server with JSON and then decodes the response as JSON as well.
import http
import net
import encoding.json
URL ::= "httpbin.org"
PATH ::= "/post"
main:
network := net.open
client := http.Client network
response := client.post_json --host=URL --path=PATH {
"foo": 42,
"bar": 499,
}
data := json.decode_stream response.body
client.close
print data
