README

River

NOTE: River is a work in progress and should be considered extremely beta.

River is a general-purpose HTTP client with eventual hopes of full HTTP/2 support (along with support for HTTP/1.1). It is built from the ground up with three major goals:

be fully compliant with RFC 7540
be simple and straightforward to use, in the vein of HTTPoison
be awesome, in the same way that Go's http library (which has built-in, transparent support for HTTP/2) is awesome.

Installation

Add River to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
```
def deps do
[{:river, "~> 0.0.6"}]
end
```

Ensure River is started before your application:

def application do
[applications: [:river]]
end

Caveats

Currently, River only knows how to make HTTP/2 requests to https:// endpoints. Soon, I'll add the ability to make a request via the Upgrade header so that requests to http:// endpoints will work as well.
River doesn't currently speak HTTP/1.x. Once I finish up basic HTTP/2 support, HTTP1.x is next on the roadmap. The goal when using River in your project is that you should not need to know whether the underlying connection is using HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.x.
River is as beta as it gets, and under active development with no promises of anything being backwards compatible 😬 (until we hit v1.0, of course)

Goals

[x] Basic HTTP/2 support
[ ] HTTP/1 --> HTTP/2 upgrading
[ ] Full HTTP/2 support
[ ] Full HTTP/1.x support

Basic Usage

Simple GET

River.get("https://http2.golang.org/")
=> {:ok,
 %River.Response{__status: :ok,
  body: "<html>\n<body>\n<h1>Go...",
  closed: true, code: 200, content_type: "text/html; charset=utf-8",
  headers: headers: [{":status", "200"},
                     {"content-type", "text/html; charset=utf-8"},
                     {"content-length", "1708"},
                     {"date", "Fri, 30 Sep 2016 04:26:34 GMT"}]}}

Simple PUT

River.put("https://example.com/", "hello world")
=> {:ok, %River.Response{...}}

Request with timeout

# timeout unit is milliseconds
River.get("https://http2.golang.org/", timeout: 10)
=> {:error, :timeout}
