HTTP client for Elixir, based on ibrowse. Continues the HTTPun tradition of HTTParty, HTTPretty, HTTParrot and HTTPie.
Add HTTPotion and ibrowse to your project's dependencies in mix.exs:
defp deps do
[
{:ibrowse, github: "cmullaparthi/ibrowse", tag: "v4.1.0"},
{:httpotion, "~> 0.2.0"}
]
endAnd fetch your project's dependencies:
$ mix deps.getiex> HTTPotion.start
{:ok, [:asn1, :public_key, :ssl, :ibrowse, :httpotion]}
iex> response = HTTPotion.get "http://localhost:4000"
%HTTPotion.Response{body: "...", headers: [{:Connection,"Keep-Alive"}...], status_code: 200}
iex> HTTPotion.Response.success?(response)
true
iex> HTTPotion.get "http://localhost:1"
** (HTTPotion.HTTPError) econnrefused
You can also extend it to make cool API clients or something (this example uses jsx for JSON):
defmodule GitHub do
use HTTPotion.Base
def process_url(url) do
"https://api.github.com/" <> url
end
def process_request_headers(headers) do
Dict.put headers, :"User-Agent", "github-potion"
end
def process_response_body(body) do
json = :jsx.decode to_string(body)
json2 = Enum.map json, fn ({k, v}) -> { binary_to_atom(k), v } end
:orddict.from_list json2
end
endiex> GitHub.start
{:ok, [:asn1, :public_key, :ssl, :ibrowse, :httpotion]}
iex> GitHub.get("users/myfreeweb").body[:public_repos]

And now with async!
iex> HTTPotion.get "http://floatboth.com", [], [stream_to: self]
%HTTPotion.AsyncResponse{id: {1372,8757,656584}}
iex> flush
%HTTPotion.AsyncHeaders{id: {1372,8757,656584}, status_code: 200, headers: ["keep-alive", "Content-Type": "text/html;charset=utf-8", Date: "Sun, 23 Jun 2013 17:32:32 GMT", Server: "cloudflare-nginx", "Transfer-Encoding": "chunked"]}
%HTTPotion.AsyncChunk{id: {1372,8757,656584}, chunk: "<!DOCTYPE html>\n..."}
%HTTPotion.AsyncEnd{id: {1372,8757,656584}}
