nimforum mirror - yahttp - simple HTTP client

Hi everyone!

Just made a simple HTTP client. It's based on Nim std/httpclient, has no additional dependencies and has nice (at least I think so) API. A couple of examples:


import yahttp

# Getting HTTP response statuse code
echo get("https://www.google.com/").status

# Making request with query params and accessing response body as JSON
let laptopsJson = get("https://dummyjson.com/products/search", query = {"q": "Laptop"}).json()
echo laptopsJson["products"][0]["title"].getStr()

Check it out if you are interested - https://github.com/mishankov/yahttp Feedback is appreciated :)

Hello. If I use yahttp in a project, then should I compile it with -d:ssl?

And it needs to be distributed with library libssl and cacert.pem?

I think so, but I would like to confirm.

Thanks for the great work

Hi!

SSL flag is only required if you call https endpoints (probably you do)

I distribute one of my application that uses yahttp with libcrypto and libssl

Thanks to reply. Now I try to convert from version httpCliet to yahttp.

Hi,

I'm developing a module which is an interface for an API.

This API is running on an old virtual server Windows 2008.

Calling api with http protocol is all ok.

With the default setting of openssl in Nim, when I use https, there is a problem in handshaking phase.

Using httpclient the solution is to set sslcontext:


sslContext = newContext(protVersion = protSSLv23, cipherList=CiphersOld, ciphersuites=CiphersOld)

Is there any way to do this using yahttp?

Thanks

Right now there is no way to provide custom SSL context in yahttp. But it probably should be. I will work on this feature as soon as i have time for it. GH issue to track https://github.com/mishankov/yahttp/issues/21

Hi @MauroG

Check out sslContext function argument in version 0.12.0 for providing custom SSL context

Hi mishankov. I've upgraded yahttp but in compile time I have this error

yahttp.nim(102, 20) Error: type mismatch

Expression: newHttpClient(timeout = timeout, sslContext = sslContext): [1] timeout = timeout: timeout: int [2] sslContext = sslContext: sslContext: SslContext

Expected one of (first mismatch at [position]):

[2] proc newHttpClient(userAgent = defUserAgent; maxRedirects = 5;: sslContext = getDefaultSSL(); proxy: Proxy = nil; timeout = -1; headers = newHttpHeaders()): HttpClient

Sorry, I forgot -d:ssl.
