How to send a request with a body?
Info: JavaScript is currently disabled, code tabs will still work, but preferences will not be remembered.
You can require the entire toolkit in a single line:
//> using toolkit latest
Alternatively, you can require just a specific version of sttp:
//> using dep com.softwaremill.sttp.client4::core:4.0.0-RC1
In your build.sbt file, you can add a dependency on the Toolkit:
lazy val example = project.in(file("."))
.settings(
scalaVersion := "3.4.2",
libraryDependencies += "org.scala-lang" %% "toolkit" % "0.7.0"
)
Alternatively, you can require just a specific version of sttp:
libraryDependencies += "com.softwaremill.sttp.client4" %% "core" % "4.0.0-RC1"
In your build.sc file, you can add a dependency on the Toolkit:
object example extends ScalaModule {
def scalaVersion = "3.4.2"
def ivyDeps =
Agg(
ivy"org.scala-lang::toolkit:0.7.0"
)
}
Alternatively, you can require just a specific version of sttp:
ivy"com.softwaremill.sttp.client4::core:4.0.0-RC1"
Sending a request with a string body
To send a POST request with a string body, you can chain post and body on a quickRequest:
import sttp.client4.quick._
val response = quickRequest
.post(uri"https://httpbin.org/post")
.body("Lorem ipsum")
.send()
println(response.code)
// prints: 200
import sttp.client4.quick.*
val response = quickRequest
.post(uri"https://httpbin.org/post")
.body("Lorem ipsum")
.send()
println(response.code)
// prints: 200
In a request with string body, sttp adds the Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 header and computes the Content-Length header.
Binary data
The body method can also take a Array[Byte], a ByteBuffer or an InputStream.
val bytes: Array[Byte] = "john".getBytes
val request = quickRequest.post(uri"https://httpbin.org/post").body(bytes)
The binary body of a request is sent with Content-Type: application/octet-stream.
