Description

Simpler API

The API below is rather low-level. The Network.HTTP.Simple module (from the http-conduit package) provides a higher-level API with built-in support for things like JSON request and response bodies. For most users, this will be an easier place to start. You can read the tutorial at:

https://github.com/commercialhaskell/jump/blob/master/doc/http-client.md

Lower-level API

This is the main entry point for using http-client. Used by itself, this module provides low-level access for streaming request and response bodies, and only non-secure HTTP connections. Helper packages such as http-conduit provided higher level streaming approaches, while other helper packages like http-client-tls provide secure connections.

There are three core components to be understood here: requests, responses, and managers. A Manager keeps track of open connections to various hosts, and when requested, will provide either an existing open connection or create a new connection on demand. A Manager also automatically reaps connections which have been unused for a certain period of time. A Manager allows for more efficient HTTP usage by allowing for keep-alive connections. Secure HTTP connections can be allowed by modifying the settings used for creating a manager. The simplest way to create a Manager is with:

newManager defaultManagerSettings

While generally speaking it is a good idea to share a single Manager throughout your application, there are cases where it makes more sense to create and destroy Managers more frequently. As an example, if you have an application which will make a large number of requests to different hosts, and will never make more than one connection to a single host, then sharing a Manager will result in idle connections being kept open longer than necessary. In such a situation, it makes sense to use withManager around each new request, to avoid running out of file descriptors. (Note that the managerIdleConnectionCount setting mitigates the risk of leaking too many file descriptors.)

The next core component is a Request, which represents a single HTTP request to be sent to a specific server. Requests allow for many settings to control exact how they function, but usually the simplest approach for creating a Request is to use parseUrl.

Finally, a Response is the result of sending a single Request to a server, over a connection which was acquired from a Manager. Note that you must close the response when you're done with it to ensure that the connection is recycled to the Manager to either be used by another request, or to be reaped. Usage of withResponse will ensure that this happens automatically.

Helper packages may provide replacements for various recommendations listed above. For example, if using http-client-tls, instead of using defaultManagerSettings, you would want to use tlsManagerSettings. Be sure to read the relevant helper library documentation for more information.

A note on exceptions: for the most part, all actions that perform I/O should be assumed to throw an HttpException in the event of some problem, and all pure functions will be total. For example, withResponse, httpLbs, and BodyReader can all throw exceptions. Functions like responseStatus and applyBasicAuth are guaranteed to be total (or there's a bug in the library).

One thing to be cautioned about: the type of parseUrl allows it to work in different monads. If used in the IO monad, it will throw an exception in the case of an invalid URI. In addition, if you leverage the IsString instance of the Request value via OverloadedStrings, an invalid URI will result in a partial value. Caveat emptor!

Non-2xx responses: the default behavior of all functions in http-client is to automatically perform up to 10 redirects (response codes 301, 302, 303, and 307), and to throw a StatusCodeException on all responses whose status are not in the 2xx range. These behaviors can be overridden by the redirectCount and checkStatus settings on a request, respectively.

Synopsis

Example Usage

Making a GET request

import Network.HTTP.Client
import Network.HTTP.Types.Status (statusCode)

main :: IO ()
main = do
  manager <- newManager defaultManagerSettings

  request <- parseUrl "http://httpbin.org/post"
  response <- httpLbs request manager

  putStrLn $ "The status code was: " ++ (show $ statusCode $ responseStatus response)
  print $ responseBody response

Posting JSON to a server

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Network.HTTP.Client
import Network.HTTP.Types.Status (statusCode)
import Data.Aeson (object, (.=), encode)

main :: IO ()
main = do
  manager <- newManager defaultManagerSettings

  -- Create the request
  let requestObject = object ["name" .= "Michael", "age" .= 30]
  initialRequest <- parseUrl "http://httpbin.org/post"
  let request = initialRequest { method = "POST", requestBody = RequestBodyLBS $ encode requestObject }

  response <- httpLbs request manager
  putStrLn $ "The status code was: " ++ (show $ statusCode $ responseStatus response)
  print $ responseBody response

Performing requests

withResponse :: Request -> Manager -> (Response BodyReader -> IO a) -> IO a Source

Perform a Request using a connection acquired from the given Manager, and then provide the Response to the given function. This function is fully exception safe, guaranteeing that the response will be closed when the inner function exits. It is defined as:

withResponse req man f = bracket (responseOpen req man) responseClose f

It is recommended that you use this function in place of explicit calls to responseOpen and responseClose.

You will need to use functions such as brRead to consume the response body.

Since 0.1.0

httpLbs :: Request -> Manager -> IO (Response ByteString) Source

A convenience wrapper around withResponse which reads in the entire response body and immediately closes the connection. Note that this function performs fully strict I/O, and only uses a lazy ByteString in its response for memory efficiency. If you are anticipating a large response body, you are encouraged to use withResponse and brRead instead.

Since 0.1.0

httpNoBody :: Request -> Manager -> IO (Response ()) Source

A convenient wrapper around withResponse which ignores the response body. This is useful, for example, when performing a HEAD request.

Since 0.3.2

responseOpen :: Request -> Manager -> IO (Response BodyReader) Source

The most low-level function for initiating an HTTP request.

The first argument to this function gives a full specification on the request: the host to connect to, whether to use SSL, headers, etc. Please see Request for full details. The second argument specifies which Manager should be used.

This function then returns a Response with a BodyReader. The Response contains the status code and headers that were sent back to us, and the BodyReader contains the body of the request. Note that this BodyReader allows you to have fully interleaved IO actions during your HTTP download, making it possible to download very large responses in constant memory.

An important note: the response body returned by this function represents a live HTTP connection. As such, if you do not use the response body, an open socket will be retained indefinitely. You must be certain to call responseClose on this response to free up resources.

This function automatically performs any necessary redirects, as specified by the redirectCount setting.

When implementing a (reverse) proxy using this function or relating functions, it's wise to remove Transfer-Encoding:, Content-Length:, Content-Encoding: and Accept-Encoding: from request and response headers to be relayed.

Since 0.1.0

responseClose :: Response a -> IO () Source

Close any open resources associated with the given Response. In general, this will either close an active Connection or return it to the Manager to be reused.

Since 0.1.0

Tracking redirect history

withResponseHistory :: Request -> Manager -> (HistoriedResponse BodyReader -> IO a) -> IO a Source

A variant of withResponse which keeps a history of all redirects performed in the interim, together with the first 1024 bytes of their response bodies.

Since 0.4.1

responseOpenHistory :: Request -> Manager -> IO (HistoriedResponse BodyReader) Source

A variant of responseOpen which keeps a history of all redirects performed in the interim, together with the first 1024 bytes of their response bodies.

Since 0.4.1

data HistoriedResponse body Source

A datatype holding information on redirected requests and the final response.

Since 0.4.1

hrRedirects :: HistoriedResponse body -> [(Request, Response ByteString)] Source

Requests which resulted in a redirect, together with their responses. The response contains the first 1024 bytes of the body.

Since 0.4.1

hrFinalRequest :: HistoriedResponse body -> Request Source

The final request performed.

Since 0.4.1

hrFinalResponse :: HistoriedResponse body -> Response body Source

The response from the final request.

Since 0.4.1

Connection manager

data Manager Source

Keeps track of open connections for keep-alive.

If possible, you should share a single Manager between multiple threads and requests.

Since 0.1.0

newManager :: ManagerSettings -> IO Manager Source

Create a Manager. The Manager will be shut down automatically via garbage collection.

Creating a new Manager is a relatively expensive operation, you are advised to share a single Manager between requests instead.

The first argument to this function is often defaultManagerSettings, though add-on libraries may provide a recommended replacement.

Since 0.1.0

closeManager :: Manager -> IO () Source

Deprecated: Manager will be closed for you automatically when no longer in use

Close all connections in a Manager.

Note that this doesn't affect currently in-flight connections, meaning you can safely use it without hurting any queries you may have concurrently running.

Since 0.1.0

withManager :: ManagerSettings -> (Manager -> IO a) -> IO a Source

Deprecated: Use newManager instead

Create, use and close a Manager.

Since 0.2.1

Connection manager settings

Settings for a Manager. Please use the defaultManagerSettings function and then modify individual settings. For more information, see http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types.

Since 0.1.0

defaultManagerSettings :: ManagerSettings Source

Default value for ManagerSettings.

Note that this value does not have support for SSL/TLS. If you need to make any https connections, please use the http-client-tls package, which provides a tlsManagerSettings value.

Since 0.1.0

managerConnCount :: ManagerSettings -> Int Source

Number of connections to a single host to keep alive. Default: 10.

Since 0.1.0

Default is 30 seconds

Since 0.1.0

managerRetryableException :: ManagerSettings -> SomeException -> Bool Source

Exceptions for which we should retry our request if we were reusing an already open connection. In the case of IOExceptions, for example, we assume that the connection was closed on the server and therefore open a new one.

Action wrapped around all attempted Requests, usually used to wrap up exceptions in library-specific types.

Default: wrap all IOExceptions in the InternalIOException constructor.

Since 0.1.0

managerIdleConnectionCount :: ManagerSettings -> Int Source

Total number of idle connection to keep open at a given time.

This limit helps deal with the case where you are making a large number of connections to different hosts. Without this limit, you could run out of file descriptors.

Since 0.3.8

Request

parseUrl :: MonadThrow m => String -> m Request Source

Convert a URL into a Request.

This defaults some of the values in Request, such as setting method to GET and requestHeaders to [].

Since this function uses MonadThrow, the return monad can be anything that is an instance of MonadThrow, such as IO or Maybe.

You can place the request method at the beginning of the URL separated by a space, e.g.:

@@ parseUrl "POST http://httpbin.org/post" @@

Note that the request method must be provided as all capital letters.

Since 0.1.0

applyBasicAuth :: ByteString -> ByteString -> Request -> Request Source

Add a Basic Auth header (with the specified user name and password) to the given Request. Ignore error handling:

 applyBasicAuth "user" "pass" $ fromJust $ parseUrl url

Since 0.1.0

urlEncodedBody :: [(ByteString, ByteString)] -> Request -> Request Source

Add url-encoded parameters to the Request.

This sets a new requestBody, adds a content-type request header and changes the method to POST.

Since 0.1.0

getUri :: Request -> URI Source

Extract a URI from the request.

Since 0.1.0

setQueryString :: [(ByteString, Maybe ByteString)] -> Request -> Request Source

Set the query string to the given key/value pairs.

Since 0.3.6

Request type and fields

data Request Source

All information on how to connect to a host and what should be sent in the HTTP request.

If you simply wish to download from a URL, see parseUrl.

The constructor for this data type is not exposed. Instead, you should use either the def method to retrieve a default instance, or parseUrl to construct from a URL, and then use the records below to make modifications. This approach allows http-client to add configuration options without breaking backwards compatibility.

For example, to construct a POST request, you could do something like:

initReq <- parseUrl "http://www.example.com/path"
let req = initReq
            { method = "POST"
            }

For more information, please see http://www.yesodweb.com/book/settings-types.

Since 0.1.0

method :: Request -> Method Source

HTTP request method, eg GET, POST.

Since 0.1.0

secure :: Request -> Bool Source

Whether to use HTTPS (ie, SSL).

Since 0.1.0

host :: Request -> ByteString Source

Requested host name, used for both the IP address to connect to and the host request header.

Since 0.1.0

port :: Request -> Int Source

The port to connect to. Also used for generating the host request header.

Since 0.1.0

path :: Request -> ByteString Source

Everything from the host to the query string.

Since 0.1.0

queryString :: Request -> ByteString Source

Query string appended to the path.

Since 0.1.0

requestHeaders :: Request -> RequestHeaders Source

Custom HTTP request headers

The Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers are set automatically by this module, and shall not be added to requestHeaders.

If not provided by the user, Host will automatically be set based on the host and port fields.

Moreover, the Accept-Encoding header is set implicitly to gzip for convenience by default. This behaviour can be overridden if needed, by setting the header explicitly to a different value. In order to omit the Accept-Header altogether, set it to the empty string "". If you need an empty Accept-Header (i.e. requesting the identity encoding), set it to a non-empty white-space string, e.g. " ". See RFC 2616 section 14.3 for details about the semantics of the Accept-Header field. If you request a content-encoding not supported by this module, you will have to decode it yourself (see also the decompress field).

Note: Multiple header fields with the same field-name will result in multiple header fields being sent and therefore it's the responsibility of the client code to ensure that the rules from RFC 2616 section 4.2 are honoured.

Since 0.1.0

requestBody :: Request -> RequestBody Source

Request body to be sent to the server.

Since 0.1.0

Since 0.1.0

requestVersion :: Request -> HttpVersion Source

HTTP version to send to server.

Default: HTTP 1.1

Since 0.4.3

Request body

data RequestBody Source

When using one of the RequestBodyStream / RequestBodyStreamChunked constructors, you must ensure that the GivesPopper can be called multiple times. Usually this is not a problem.

The RequestBodyStreamChunked will send a chunked request body. Note that not all servers support this. Only use RequestBodyStreamChunked if you know the server you're sending to supports chunked request bodies.

Since 0.1.0

Constructors

RequestBodyLBS ByteString 
RequestBodyBS ByteString 
RequestBodyBuilder Int64 Builder 
RequestBodyStream Int64 (GivesPopper ()) 
RequestBodyStreamChunked (GivesPopper ()) 
RequestBodyIO (IO RequestBody)

Allows creation of a RequestBody inside the IO monad, which is useful for making easier APIs (like setRequestBodyFile).

Since: 0.4.28

type Popper = IO ByteString Source

A function which generates successive chunks of a request body, provider a single empty bytestring when no more data is available.

Since 0.1.0

type NeedsPopper a = Popper -> IO a Source

A function which must be provided with a Popper.

Since 0.1.0

type GivesPopper a = NeedsPopper a -> IO a Source

A function which will provide a Popper to a NeedsPopper. This seemingly convoluted structure allows for creation of request bodies which allocate scarce resources in an exception safe manner.

Since 0.1.0

streamFile :: FilePath -> IO RequestBody Source

Response body sent by the server.

Since 0.1.0

responseCookieJar :: Response body -> CookieJar Source

Cookies set on the client after interacting with the server. If cookies have been disabled by setting cookieJar to Nothing, then this will always be empty.

Since 0.1.0

Response body

type BodyReader = IO ByteString Source

An IO action that represents an incoming response body coming from the server. Data provided by this action has already been gunzipped and de-chunked, and respects any content-length headers present.

The action gets a single chunk of data from the response body, or an empty bytestring if no more data is available.

Since 0.4.0

brRead :: BodyReader -> IO ByteString Source

Get a single chunk of data from the response body, or an empty bytestring if no more data is available.

Note that in order to consume the entire request body, you will need to repeatedly call this function until you receive an empty ByteString as a result.

Since 0.1.0

brReadSome :: BodyReader -> Int -> IO ByteString Source

Continuously call brRead, building up a lazy ByteString until a chunk is constructed that is at least as many bytes as requested.
