HTTPClient

A HTTP client that transparently pools connections. You can use it anywhere you would use an HTTP::Client because it is an HTTP::Client.

Installation

  1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

    dependencies:
  http_client:
    github: jgaskins/http_client

  2. Run shards install

Usage

require "http_client"

http = HTTPClient.new(URI.parse("https://api.example.com"))

http.get "/"
# => #<HTTP::Client::Response:...>

OAuth

Using a pooled HTTP client allows you to use a single OAuth2::Client instance for your entire app.

require "oauth2"
require "http_client"

EXAMPLE_OAUTH2 = OAuth2::Client.new(
  host: "api.example.com",
  client_id: ENV["OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID"],
  client_secret: ENV["OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET"],
  redirect_uri: ENV["OAUTH2_REDIRECT_URI"],
)
EXAMPLE_OAUTH2.http_client = HTTPClient.new("https://api.example.com")
