Astra.Rest.Http (astra v0.5.0)

Astra.Rest.Http provides direct access to all HTTP methods implemented in HTTPoison. It is used by Astra.Rest to add required headers and security to request, but could also be used to directly access unimplemented functionality in the future.

Issues an HTTP request using a Request struct.

This function returns {:ok, response}, {:ok, async_response}, or {:ok, maybe_redirect} if the request is successful, {:error, reason} otherwise.

Redirect handling

If the option :follow_redirect is given, HTTP redirects are automatically follow if the method is set to :get or :head and the response's status_code is 301, 302 or 307.

If the method is set to :post, then the only status_code that get's automatically followed is 303.

If any other method or status_code is returned, then this function returns a returns a {:ok, %HTTPoison.MaybeRedirect{}} containing the redirect_url for you to re-request with the method set to :get.

Examples

request = %HTTPoison.Request{
  method: :post,
  url: "https://my.website.com",
  body: "{\"foo\": 3}",
  headers: [{"Accept", "application/json"}]
}

request(request)

request(method, url, body \\ "", headers \\ [], options \\ [])

Specs

request(method(), binary(), any(), headers(), Keyword.t()) ::
  {:ok,
   HTTPoison.Response.t()
   | HTTPoison.AsyncResponse.t()
   | HTTPoison.MaybeRedirect.t()}
  | {:error, HTTPoison.Error.t()}

Issues an HTTP request with the given method to the given url.

This function is usually used indirectly by get/3, post/4, put/4, etc

Args:

method - HTTP method as an atom (:get, :head, :post, :put, :delete, etc.)
url - target url as a binary string or char list
body - request body. See more below
headers - HTTP headers as an orddict (e.g., [{"Accept", "application/json"}])
options - Keyword list of options

Body: see type HTTPoison.Request

Options: see type HTTPoison.Request

This function returns {:ok, response}, {:ok, async_response}, or {:ok, maybe_redirect} if the request is successful, {:error, reason} otherwise.

Redirect handling

If the option :follow_redirect is given, HTTP redirects are automatically follow if the method is set to :get or :head and the response's status_code is 301, 302 or 307.

If the method is set to :post, then the only status_code that get's automatically followed is 303.

Examples

request(:post, "https://my.website.com", "{\"foo\": 3}", [{"Accept", "application/json"}])

request!(method, url, body \\ "", headers \\ [], options \\ [])

Specs

request!(method(), binary(), any(), headers(), Keyword.t()) ::
  HTTPoison.Response.t()
  | HTTPoison.AsyncResponse.t()
  | HTTPoison.MaybeRedirect.t()

Issues an HTTP request with the given method to the given url, raising an exception in case of failure.

request!/5 works exactly like request/5 but it returns just the response in case of a successful request, raising an exception in case the request fails.

start()

Starts HTTPoison and its dependencies.

stream_next(resp)

Specs

stream_next(HTTPoison.AsyncResponse.t()) ::
  {:ok, HTTPoison.AsyncResponse.t()} | {:error, HTTPoison.Error.t()}

Requests the next message to be streamed for a given HTTPoison.AsyncResponse.

See request!/5 for more detailed information.
