HTTPill v0.1.0 HTTPill View Source

HTTP requests for sick people!

The cure for some poison or potion you might be drinking in the web.

Puns aside, HTTPoison and HTTPotion are both great tools, but we wanted more!

Here’s what we wanted:

  • Debug logging
  • Return a Stream for async chunked responses handling
  • Auto discovering Content-Type based on the given request body
  • Auto JSON encoding/decoding for the request/response body according to Content-Type and Accepts
  • Some slightly different response handling options, like returning {:status_error, response} for successful requests with status code >= 400, or not returning a tuple at all
  • Support for both hackney and ibrowse, or any other lib that comes to your mind in the future (and yes, you can switch between them anytime)
  • Replaceable default configurations, like base_url and request_headers for raw HTTPill calls. No overrides needed!

    • BONUS: also a standard way to set config options to your HTTPill.Base extensions
