How to build

Just run ant, then copy and paste jar file to your classpath. Ivy is needed to resolve dependencies.

Dependencies

All libraries are used to execute unit test.

• scalatest
• junit
• commons-codec

Created jar is executable without any dependencies.

How to use

Just import com.shc.http:

import com.shc.http._

Here is a simple GET request. This returns request.Response instance obj:

val url = "http://example.com"
var resp = Request.get(url)

If you want to add query strings, just pass key-value map to the method:

resp = Request.get(url, Map("name" -> "foofoo"))

How to retrieve response contents:

if(resp != None){
  val url = resp.get.url // java.net.URL
  val statusCode = resp.get.statusCode // String
  val headers = resp.get.headers // Map[String, List[String]]
  val message = resp.get.message // String
  val cookies = resp.get.cookies // List[java.net.HttpCookie]
}

Uploading files:

val files = Map("key" -> "/where/the/file/exist")
resp = Request.post(url, files = files)
resp = Request.post(url, Map("key" -> "value"), files)

Creating authentication credential. This support basic & digest auth:

if(resp != None & resp.get.statusCode == 401){
  resp = Request.get(url, auth = resp.auth("user", "pass"))
  println(resp.get.statusCode == 200)
}

Reusing cookieManager:

val cookies = resp.cookies.foreach(println)
val cookieManager = resp.cookieManager
resp = Request.get(url, cookie = cookieManager)

Storing contents:

val path = "/path/to/somewhere"
val bool = resp.store(path)
println(bool)
