An HTTP client engine, intended as a base layer for more user-friendly packages.
This codebase has been refactored from http-conduit.
Note that, if you want to make HTTPS secure connections, you should use http-client-tls in addition to this library.
Below is a series of cookbook recipes. A number of recipes exist elsewhere,
including Network.HTTP.Client
and Network.HTTP.Conduit
. The goal is to
expand this list over time.
Proxy environment variable
Use the following approach to get proxy settings from the http_proxy
and
https_proxy
environment variables.
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}
import Network.HTTP.Client
main :: IO ()
main = do
let settings = managerSetProxy
(proxyEnvironment Nothing)
defaultManagerSettings
man <- newManager settings
let req = "http://httpbin.org"
-- Note that the following settings will be completely ignored.
{ proxy = Just $ Proxy "localhost" 1234
}
httpLbs req man >>= print
