HTTP request client exposing:

  • TLS
  • Dialer
  • Transport
  • Client

How to (default options):

client := requestclient.New(nil)

u, _ := url.Parse("http://www.example.com")

responseTransport, err := client.RoundTrip(client.GET(u)) // For lower level API

responseClient, err := client.Do(client.GET(u)) // For higher level API

How to (with custom options):

options := requestclient.NewOptions()

client := requestclient.New(options)

u, _ := url.Parse("http://www.example.com")

responseTransport, err := client.RoundTrip(client.GET(u)) // For lower level API

responseClient, err := client.Do(client.GET(u)) // For higher level API

Options

////////////////////////////////
// Dialer
////////////////////////////////
// Timeout is the maximum amount of time a dial will wait for
// a connect to complete.
//
// With or without a timeout, the operating system may impose
// its own earlier timeout. For instance, TCP timeouts are
// often around 3 minutes.
DialerTimeout time.Duration // The default is no timeout.

// Deadline is the absolute point in time after which dials
// will fail. If Timeout is set, it may fail earlier.
// Zero means no deadline, or dependent on the operating system
// as with the Timeout option.
DialerDeadline time.Time

// DualStack allows a single dial to attempt to establish
// multiple IPv4 and IPv6 connections and to return the first
// established connection when the network is "tcp" and the
// destination is a host name that has multiple address family
// DNS records.
DialerDualStack bool

// KeepAlive specifies the keep-alive period for an active
// network connection.
// If zero, keep-alives are not enabled. Network protocols
// that do not support keep-alives ignore this field.
DialerKeepAlive time.Duration

//
////////////////////////////////
// Transport
////////////////////////////////
//

// MaxTries, if non-zero, specifies the number of times we will retry on
// failure. Retries are only attempted for temporary network errors or known
// safe failures.
TransportMaxTries uint

// DisableKeepAlives, if true, prevents re-use of TCP connections
// between different HTTP requests.
TransportDisableKeepAlives bool

// DisableCompression, if true, prevents the Transport from
// requesting compression with an "Accept-Encoding: gzip"
TransportDisableCompression bool

// MaxIdleConnsPerHost, if non-zero, controls the maximum idle
// (keep-alive) to keep per-host.
TransportMaxIdleConnsPerHost int

// RequestTimeout, if non-zero, specifies the amount of time for the entire
// request. This includes dialing (if necessary), the response header as well
// as the entire body.
TransportRequestTimeout time.Duration

// ResponseHeaderTimeout, if non-zero, specifies the amount of
// time to wait for a server's response headers after fully
// writing the request (including its body, if any). This
// time does not include the time to read the response body.
TransportResponseHeaderTimeout time.Duration

//
////////////////////////////////
// Client
////////////////////////////////
//

// Timeout specifies a time limit for requests made by this
// Client. The timeout includes connection time, any
// redirects, and reading the response body. The timer remains
// running after Get, Head, Post, or Do return and will
// interrupt reading of the Response.Body.
//
// A Timeout of zero means no timeout.
//
// The Client's Transport must support the CancelRequest
// method or Client will return errors when attempting to make
// a request with Get, Head, Post, or Do. Client's default
// Transport (DefaultTransport) supports CancelRequest.
ClientTimeout time.Duration

//
////////////////////////////////
// TLS
////////////////////////////////
//

// InsecureSkipVerify controls whether a client verifies the
// server's certificate chain and host name.
TLSInsecureSkipVerify bool

Extensibility

Package uses two interfaces one for http.Client, other for http.Transport. One can easily replace default transport or client wiht custom by satisfying interfaces below.

// DialDialer - is an interface for connecting to an address.
type DialDialer interface {
	Dial(network, address string) (net.Conn, error)
}

// RoundTripper is an interface representing the ability to execute a
// single HTTP transaction, obtaining the Response for a given Request.
//
// A RoundTripper must be safe for concurrent use by multiple
// goroutines.
type RoundTripper interface {
	// RoundTrip executes a single HTTP transaction, returning
	// the Response for the request req.  RoundTrip should not
	// attempt to interpret the response.  In particular,
	// RoundTrip must return err == nil if it obtained a response,
	// regardless of the response's HTTP status code.  A non-nil
	// err should be reserved for failure to obtain a response.
	// Similarly, RoundTrip should not attempt to handle
	// higher-level protocol details such as redirects,
	// authentication, or cookies.
	//
	// RoundTrip should not modify the request, except for
	// consuming and closing the Body, including on errors. The
	// request's URL and Header fields are guaranteed to be
	// initialized.
	RoundTrip(*http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}

// ClientRequester - interface for http.Client
type ClientRequester interface {
	Do(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}

// Requester - wraps RoundTripper & ClientRequester
type Requester interface {
	Do(*http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
	RoundTrip(*http.Request) (*http.Response, error)
}
