The http module

HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 clients and servers, over TCP or TLS.

Bring it in with import http. A Client sends a Request to an http:// or https:// URL and returns the Response; a Server accepts connections on every worker of async.run and answers each request with a handler function. Bodies are read into memory, or streamed through an io.Reader (Client.open, set_reader). Over TLS the client and server choose HTTP/2 through ALPN when both have it, with the same Request and Response types.

• Messages: Headers, Request, and Response
• Client: Client, Session and BodyReader
• Server: Server and reason_phrase

Example

import async;
import http;
import io;

main(): int {
    async.run(() => {
        var server = http.Server.bind(io.SocketAddress.parse("127.0.0.1:0").value()).value();
        var port = server.local_address().value().port();
        async.spawn<void>(() => {
            server.serve((request) => {
                return http.Response(200).set_text("hello");
            });
        });
        var response = http.Client().get("http://127.0.0.1:" + to_string(port) + "/").value();
        assert(response.text() == "hello", "served");
    });
    return 0;
}
