A tiny HTTP abstraction layer for PCL.
Use NuGet to install https://nuget.org/packages/TinyHTTP-PCL/ with:
Install-Package TinyHttp-PCL
HTTP in PCL is not standard yet. This abstraction uses a WebRequest and will set headers through reflection, whie using SharpZLib for decompression of gzip and deflate streams. The result is a 100% managed tiny abstraction that will work across platforms (SL 4.0+, WP 7.0+, .NET 4.0+, .NET Store).
Performing a GET (similar to DELETE)...
Http.Get("http://www.google.com", (Response) => {
Console.WriteLine(Response.AsString());
});
Performing a POST (similar to PUT)...
var Values = new Dictionary<string, string>();
Values.Add("fieldname", "myvalue");
Http.Post("http://www.example.com", Values, (Response) => {
Console.WriteLine(Response.AsString());
});
Manipulating a request with middleware...
Http.Get("http://www.google.com", (Response) => {
Console.WriteLine(Response.AsString());
}, (Request, Next) => {
Request.Set("X-Requested-By", "TinyHTTP");
Next();
});
