NOTICE
This project is not supported anymore.
It's still here just to support legacy projects that may have it as a dependency. It's operational (at least, for Erlang versions lower than OTP 21)
If you're looking for an HTTP client, we would recommend you to switch to shotgun or fusco
OTP 20.1 Warning
lhttpc has an issue with OTP 20.1 and a bug in the server_name_indication ssl option. See
#12 and #13
for more details. For lhttpc users on OTP 20.x, it is recommended to upgrade to OTP 20.3 or greater
to avoid this potential issue.
Dependencies:
- Erlang/OTP R16B03-1 or newer
- Application compiler to build, kernel, stdlib and ssl to run
Building:
For versions > 1.2.5, lhttpc is built using rebar. Take a look at http://bitbucket.org/basho/rebar/wiki/Home for more information. There is still a Makefile with some of the old make targets, such as all, doc, test etc. for those who prefer that. The makefile will however just call rebar.
Configuration: (environment variables)
connection_timeout: The time (in milliseconds) the client will try to keep a HTTP/1.1 connection open. Changing this value in runtime has no effect, this can however be done throughlhttpc_manager:update_connection_timeout/1.pool_size: The default number of client processes to allow in anlhttpc_managerpool. Can be overridden at pool creation time, or updated at run-time usinglhttpc_manager:set_max_pool_size/2.
