Requestz

An HTTP client inspired by httpx and ureq.

⚠️ I'm currently renovating an old house which does not allow me to work on requestz, h11 and http as much as I would like to. Further development will likely to start again around december 2022. In the meantime, feel free to fork :)

Installation

requestz is available on astrolabe.pm via gyro

gyro add ducdetronquito/requestz

Usage

Send a GET request

const client = @import("requestz.zig").Client;

var client = try Client.init(std.testing.allocator);
defer client.deinit();

var response = try client.get("http://httpbin.org/get", .{});
defer response.deinit();

Send a request with headers

const Headers = @import("http").Headers;

var headers = Headers.init(std.testing.allocator);
defer headers.deinit();
try headers.append("Gotta-go", "Fast!");

var response = try client.get("http://httpbin.org/get", .{ .headers = headers.items() });
defer response.deinit();

Send a request with compile-time headers

var headers = .{
    .{"Gotta-go", "Fast!"}
};

var response = try client.get("http://httpbin.org/get", .{ .headers = headers });
defer response.deinit();

Send binary data along with a POST request

var response = try client.post("http://httpbin.org/post", .{ .content = "Gotta go fast!" });
defer response.deinit();

var tree = try response.json();
defer tree.deinit();

Stream a response

var response = try client.stream(.Get, "http://httpbin.org/", .{});
defer response.deinit();

while(true) {
    var buffer: [4096]u8 = undefined;
    var bytesRead = try response.read(&buffer);
    if (bytesRead == 0) {
        break;
    }
    std.debug.print("{}", .{buffer[0..bytesRead]});
}
