cohttp-lwt-jsoo 4.0.0 · OCaml Package

The Client module implements an HTTP client interface using asynchronous XmlHttpRequests. The response body is returned in chucked form with 128Kb / chunk. Body data is treated as raw bytes. withCredentials property of XHR is set to false.

type ctx

val call : 
  ?ctx:ctx ->
  ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t ->
  ?body:Cohttp_lwt.Body.t ->
  ?chunked:bool ->
  Cohttp.Code.meth ->
  Uri.t ->
  (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t

call ?ctx ?headers ?body ?chunked meth uri will resolve the uri to a concrete network endpoint using context ctx. It will then issue an HTTP request with method meth, adding request headers from headers if present. If a body is specified then that will be included with the request, using chunked encoding if chunked is true. The default is to disable chunked encoding for HTTP request bodies for compatibility reasons.

In most cases you should use the more specific helper calls in the interface rather than invoke this function directly. See head, get and post for some examples.

Depending on ctx, the library is able to send a simple HTTP request or an encrypted one with a secured protocol (such as TLS). Depending on how conduit is configured, ctx might initiate a secured connection with TLS (using ocaml-tls) or SSL (using ocaml-ssl), on *:443 or on the specified port by the user. If neitehr ocaml-tls or ocaml-ssl are installed on the system, cohttp/conduit tries the usual (*:80) or the specified port by the user in a non-secured way.
