HTTP client wrapper with authentication and pooling services.
httpclient provides an OTP application wrapper around existing low level
HTTP clients. In addition, it provides the following benefits:
- a configurable service pool for HTTP client workers
- an authentication service that automatically sends authentication info/tokens to client workers via gen_event
- HTTP low level backend implemented via a behavior - i.e. other backends can be added
On the other side, you only need to provide 3 things that are specific to your application:
- configuration for your authentication and pooling needs
- implementation of your authentication that returns authentication info, e.g. a token, implemented via a login behavior
- translation of your application functions and arguments into a request record via a service behavior; these requests will get executed by the workers in specified pool
Please see the guide.
- currently gun HTTP client is supported.
httpccode is there but it is untested with latest revisions and may be buggy.
