ExAws.Request.HttpClient behaviour

Specifies expected behaviour of an http client

ExAws allows you to use your http client of choice, provided that it can be coerced into complying with this module’s specification.

HTTPoison fits this spec without modification, and is also the default.

Example

Here for example is the code required to make HTTPotion comply with this spec.

In your config you would do:

config :ex_aws,
  http_client: ExAws.Request.HTTPotion
defmodule ExAws.Request.HTTPotion do
  @behaviour ExAws.Request.HttpClient
  def request(method, url, body, headers) do
    {:ok, HTTPotion.request(method, url, [body: body, headers: headers, ibrowse: [headers_as_is: true]])}
  end
end
