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://haskell-lang.org/library/http-client

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 provide 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 parseRequest.

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 parseRequest 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!

Example Usage

Making a GET request

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

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

  request <- parseRequest "http://httpbin.org/get"
  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)
import Data.Text (Text)

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

  -- Create the request
  let requestObject = object ["name" .= "Michael", "age" .= 30]
  let requestObject = object
   [ "name" .= ("Michael" :: Text)
   , "age"  .= (30 :: Int)
   ]

  initialRequest <- parseRequest "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

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

class HasHttpManager a where Source #

Minimal complete definition

getHttpManager

Connection manager settings

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

managerResponseTimeout :: ManagerSettings -> ResponseTimeout Source #

Default timeout to be applied to requests which do not provide a timeout value.

Default is 30 seconds

Since: 0.5.0

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.

Since 0.1.0

managerWrapException :: ManagerSettings -> forall a. Request -> IO a -> IO a Source #

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

Default: wrap all IOExceptions in the InternalException constructor.

Since: 0.5.0

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. Additionally, it can be set to zero to prevent reuse of any connections. Doing this is useful when the server your application is talking to sits behind a load balancer.

Helpers

rawConnectionModifySocket :: (Socket -> IO ()) -> IO (Maybe HostAddress -> String -> Int -> IO Connection) Source #

A value for the managerRawConnection setting, but also allows you to modify the underlying Socket to set additional settings. For a motivating use case, see: https://github.com/snoyberg/http-client/issues/71.

Since 0.3.8

rawConnectionModifySocketSize :: (Socket -> IO ()) -> IO (Int -> Maybe HostAddress -> String -> Int -> IO Connection) Source #

Same as rawConnectionModifySocket, but also takes in a chunk size.

Since: 0.5.2

Request

The way you parse string of characters to construct a Request will determine whether exceptions will be thrown on non-2XX response status codes. This is because the behavior is controlled by a setting in Request itself (see checkResponse) and different parsing functions set it to different IO actions.

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

Deprecated: Please use parseUrlThrow, parseRequest, or parseRequest_ instead

Deprecated synonym for parseUrlThrow. You probably want parseRequest or parseRequest_ instead.

Since: 0.1.0

parseUrlThrow :: MonadThrow m => String -> m Request Source #

Same as parseRequest, except will throw an HttpException in the event of a non-2XX response.

Since: 0.4.30

parseRequest :: MonadThrow m => String -> m Request Source #

Convert a URL into a Request.

This function 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.:

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

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

A Request created by this function won't cause exceptions on non-2XX response status codes.

To create a request which throws on non-2XX status codes, see parseUrlThrow

Since: 0.4.30

parseRequest_ :: String -> Request Source #

Same as parseRequest, but in the cases of a parse error generates an impure exception. Mostly useful for static strings which are known to be correctly formatted.

requestFromURI :: MonadThrow m => URI -> m Request Source #

Convert a URI into a Request.

This can fail if the given URI is not absolute, or if the URI scheme is not "http" or "https". In these cases the function will throw an error via MonadThrow.

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

A Request created by this function won't cause exceptions on non-2XX response status codes.

Since: 0.5.12

requestFromURI_ :: URI -> Request Source #

Same as requestFromURI, but if the conversion would fail, throws an impure exception.

Since: 0.5.12

defaultRequest :: Request Source #

A default request value

Since: 0.4.30

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" $ parseRequest_ url

NOTE: The function applyDigestAuth is provided by the http-client-tls package instead of this package due to extra dependencies. Please use that package if you need to use digest authentication.

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

setRequestIgnoreStatus :: Request -> Request Source #

Modify the request so that non-2XX status codes do not generate a runtime StatusCodeException.

Since: 0.4.29

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

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

Since 0.3.6

setQueryStringPartialEscape :: [(ByteString, [EscapeItem])] -> Request -> Request Source #

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

Since: 0.5.10

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 parseRequest.

The constructor for this data type is not exposed. Instead, you should use either the defaultRequest value, or parseRequest 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 <- parseRequest "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

Instances

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

checkResponse :: Request -> Request -> Response BodyReader -> IO () Source #

Check the response immediately after receiving the status and headers. This can be useful for throwing exceptions on non-success status codes.

In previous versions of http-client, this went under the name checkStatus, but was renamed to avoid confusion about the new default behavior (doing nothing).

Since: 0.5.0

responseTimeout :: Request -> ResponseTimeout Source #

Number of microseconds to wait for a response. If Nothing, will wait indefinitely. Default: use managerResponseTimeout (which by default is 30 seconds).

Since 0.1.0

A user-defined cookie jar. If Nothing, no cookie handling will take place, "Cookie" headers in requestHeaders will be sent raw, and responseCookieJar will be empty.

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: 0.5.0

Constructors

HttpExceptionRequest Request HttpExceptionContent

Most exceptions are specific to a Request. Inspect the HttpExceptionContent value for details on what occurred.

Since: 0.5.0

InvalidUrlException String String

A URL (first field) is invalid for a given reason (second argument).

Since: 0.5.0

data HttpExceptionContent Source #

Constructors

StatusCodeException (Response ()) ByteString

Generated by the parseUrlThrow function when the server returns a non-2XX response status code.

May include the beginning of the response body.

Since: 0.5.0

TooManyRedirects [Response ByteString]

The server responded with too many redirects for a request.

Contains the list of encountered responses containing redirects in reverse chronological order; including last redirect, which triggered the exception and was not followed.

Since: 0.5.0

OverlongHeaders

Either too many headers, or too many total bytes in a single header, were returned by the server, and the memory exhaustion protection in this library has kicked in.

Since: 0.5.0

ResponseTimeout

The server took too long to return a response. This can be altered via responseTimeout or managerResponseTimeout.

Since: 0.5.0

ConnectionTimeout

Attempting to connect to the server timed out.

Since: 0.5.0

ConnectionFailure SomeException

An exception occured when trying to connect to the server.

Since: 0.5.0

InvalidStatusLine ByteString

The status line returned by the server could not be parsed.

Since: 0.5.0

InvalidHeader ByteString

The given response header line could not be parsed

Since: 0.5.0

InternalException SomeException

An exception was raised by an underlying library when performing the request. Most often, this is caused by a failing socket action or a TLS exception.

Since: 0.5.0

ProxyConnectException ByteString Int Status

A non-200 status code was returned when trying to connect to the proxy server on the given host and port.

Since: 0.5.0

NoResponseDataReceived

No response data was received from the server at all. This exception may deserve special handling within the library, since it may indicate that a pipelining has been used, and a connection thought to be open was in fact closed.

Since: 0.5.0

TlsNotSupported

Exception thrown when using a Manager which does not have support for secure connections. Typically, you will want to use tlsManagerSettings from http-client-tls to overcome this.

Since: 0.5.0

WrongRequestBodyStreamSize Word64 Word64

The request body provided did not match the expected size.

Provides the expected and actual size.

Since: 0.4.31

ResponseBodyTooShort Word64 Word64

The returned response body is too short. Provides the expected size and actual size.

Since: 0.5.0

InvalidChunkHeaders

A chunked response body had invalid headers.

Since: 0.5.0

IncompleteHeaders

An incomplete set of response headers were returned.

Since: 0.5.0

InvalidDestinationHost ByteString

The host we tried to connect to is invalid (e.g., an empty string).

HttpZlibException ZlibException

An exception was thrown when inflating a response body.

Since: 0.5.0

InvalidProxyEnvironmentVariable Text Text

Values in the proxy environment variable were invalid. Provides the environment variable name and its value.

Since: 0.5.0

ConnectionClosed
