It lets you set up + HTTP connections, transmitting requests and processing the responses coming back, all + from within the comforts of Haskell. It's dependent on the network package to operate, + but other than that, the implementation is all written in Haskell. + + A basic API for issuing single HTTP requests + receiving responses is provided. On top + of that, a session-level abstraction is also on offer (the @BrowserAction@ monad); + it taking care of handling the management of persistent connections, proxies, + state (cookies) and authentication credentials required to handle multi-step + interactions with a web server. + + The representation of the bytes flowing across is extensible via the use of a type class, + letting you pick the representation of requests and responses that best fits your use. + Some pre-packaged, common instances are provided for you (@ByteString@, @String@.) + + Here's an example use: + + > + > do + > rsp <- Network.HTTP.simpleHTTP (getRequest "http://www.haskell.org/") + > -- fetch document and return it (as a 'String'.) + > fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp) + > + > do + > rsp <- Network.Browser.browse $ do + > setAllowRedirects True -- handle HTTP redirects + > request $ getRequest "https://google.com/" + > fmap (take 100) (getResponseBody rsp) + > + + Git repository available at <https://github.com/haskell/HTTP.git> + </longdescription> + <use> + <flag name="conduit10">Use version 1.0.x or below of the conduit package (for the test suite).</flag> + <flag name="network-uri">Get Network.URI from the network-uri package.</flag> + </use> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="github">haskell/HTTP</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
