An HTTP client package that is 100% compatible with the official library, and provides functions such as retry, rate limit, circuit breaker, cache, log, and trace. This package can be used as a basic toolkit for a microservice framework with HTTP requests as a carrier, or as a more secure library to limit the size of concurrent requests and downloaded data.
Use go get.
$ go get -u github.com/yaoguais/gohttpclient
Then import the package into your own code.
import "github.com/yaoguais/gohttpclient"
package main
import (
"github.com/yaoguais/gohttpclient"
)
func main() {
c := gohttpclient.NewClient()
resp, err := c.Get("http://examples.com/ping")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
}
- Retry mechanism for requests
- Mechanism for requesting traffic throttling
- Circuit breaker mechanism to prevent avalanches
- Cache and reuse client request and response content
- Recording of client request logs
- Distributed tracing and analysis of cross-process transactions
- Customize the official HTTP client instance
- Limit the timeout period for requests
- Limit the size of the client download response content
package main
import "github.com/cenkalti/backoff/v4"
func main() {
// Set the request to repeat up to 10 times when it fails,
// and retry 1 time per second interval.
// The default algorithm for judging retry is that the
// HTTP status code is greater than or equal to 500 before retrying.
// Or you can use gohttpclient.WithShouldRetryFunc() to set the algorithm to judge the retry by yourself.
c := gohttpclient.NewClient(
gohttpclient.WithMaxRetry(10),
gohttpclient.WithRetryBackOff(backoff.NewConstantBackOff(time.Second)),
)
c.Get("http://examples.com/ping")
// You can also choose to use the Exponential backoff algorithm.
// Exponential backoff is an algorithm that uses feedback to multiplicatively decrease the rate of some process,
// in order to gradually find an acceptable rate.
c = gohttpclient.NewClient(
gohttpclient.WithMaxRetry(10),
gohttpclient.WithRetryBackOff(backoff.NewExponentialBackOff()),

}
package main

func main() {
// For the requested address, a maximum of 10 concurrent requests are made per second.
// If it exceeds 10 times, the excess requests will wait until the next second to execute.
// The requested address needs to be specially explained,
// and the parameters after the link question mark will be omitted.
// Different requested addresses have different capacity of 10 times per second.
// Of course, you can also customize the algorithm
// and stipulate that different domain names use different capacity limits.
option := gohttpclient.NewRateLimitOption(10)
c := gohttpclient.NewClient(
gohttpclient.WithRateLimitOption(option),
)
c.Get("http://examples.com/ping")
}
package main
import "github.com/yaoguais/gohttpclient"
func main() {
// Circuit breakers use the Hystrix Pattern,
// which is a complex concept and requires a lot of effort to understand.
// The circuit breaker is divided into two states: closed circuit and open circuit.
// It is closed at first, but if there are many request failures,
// it will become open. In the open-circuit state,
// no more requests will be initiated,
// and after a period of time, the request will be passed to test whether the link is normal.
// If it is normal, it will become a closed state, and the request will be unblocked.
// The default settings are to request 20 times, and if half of them fail,
// it becomes an open-circuit state.
// Then wait for 5 seconds, then retries 1 time,
// and if successful, it changes back to the closed-circuit state.
option := gohttpclient.NewHystrixOption()
c := gohttpclient.NewClient(
gohttpclient.WithHystrixOption(option),
)
c.Get("http://examples.com/ping")
}
package main
import "github.com/yaoguais/gohttpclient"
func main() {
// The cache function will save the content of the response,
// such as saving to memory, file, Redis, etc.
// The next time you initiate the same request,
// you don't need to actually execute the request, but extract it from the cache.
// By default, only successful requests with HTTP method GET
// and status code 200 will be cached for 5 minutes.
// The same complete request link will be treated as the same request and may be cached.
option := gohttpclient.NewMemoryCacheOption()
c := gohttpclient.NewClient(
gohttpclient.WithCacheOption(option),
)
c.Get("http://examples.com/ping")
}
package main
import "github.com/yaoguais/gohttpclient"
func main() {
// The log function can record the context of the request,
// such as request content, response content, response status code, request time, etc.
// All contexts are logged by default, and you can also close them yourself.
option := gohttpclient.NewLoggerOption()
c := gohttpclient.NewClient(
gohttpclient.WithLoggerOption(option),
)
c.Get("http://examples.com/ping")
}
Of course, you can also set the output in JSON format,
func main() {
l := logrus.New()
l.SetFormatter(&logrus.JSONFormatter{})
logger := logrus.NewEntry(l)
option := gohttpclient.NewLoggerOption()
option.Logger = logger
c := gohttpclient.NewClient(
gohttpclient.WithLoggerOption(option),
)
c.Get("http://examples.com/ping")
}
and the format of the output content is as follows

"executeTimeMs": 2073,
"level": "error",
"method": "GET",
