FsHttp ("Full Stack HTTP") is a "hackable HTTP client". It's purposes are:

  • Use it as a replacement for .http files, VSCode's REST client, Postman, and other tools as an interactive and programmable playground for HTTP requests.
  • Usable as a production-ready HTTP client for applications powered by .Net (C#, VB, F#).

The design principle behind FsHttp is to specify HTTP requests in a most convenient and readable way, while still being able to access the underlying Http representations for covering unusual cases. It's the best of both worlds: Convenience and Flexibility.

FsHttp is developed and maintained by @SchlenkR and @dawedawe. Feel free to leave us a message.

A Simple Example

An example in F#:

#r "nuget: FsHttp"

open FsHttp

http {
    POST "https://reqres.in/api/users"
    CacheControl "no-cache"
    body
    jsonSerialize
        {|
            name = "morpheus"
            job = "leader"
        |}
}
|> Request.send

An example in C#:

#r "nuget: FsHttp"

using FsHttp;

await Http
    .Post("https://reqres.in/api/users")
    .CacheControl("no-cache")
    .Body()
    .JsonSerialize(new
        {
            name = "morpheus",

Building

.Net SDK:

You need to have the latest .Net SDK installed, which is specified in ./global.json.

Build Tasks

There is a F# build script (./build.fsx) that can be used to perform several build tasks from command line.

For common tasks, there are powershell files located in the repo root:

  • ./test.ps1: Runs all tests (sources in ./src/Tests).
    • You can pass args to this task. E.g. for executing only some tests: ./test.ps1 --filter Name~'Response Decompression'
  • ./docu.ps1: Rebuilds the FsHttp documentation site (sources in ./src/docs).
  • ./docu-watch.ps1: Run it if you are working on the documentation sources, and want to see the result in a browser.
  • ./publish.ps1: Publishes all packages (FsHttp and it's integration packages for Newtonsoft and FSharp.Data) to NuGet.
    • Always have a look at ./src/Directory.Build.props and keep the file up-to-date.

Credits

  • Parts of the code is taken from the HTTP utilities of FSharp.Data.
  • Credits to all critics, supporters, contributors, promoters, users, and friends.

v14.4.0
     - Fixed pre-configured requests

     v14.3.0
     - Added `GetList` JsonElement extension
     
     v14.2.0
     - (Breaking change) Separated Config and PrintHint (...and many more things in these domains)

     v14.1.0
     - (Breaking change) Renamed `Extensions.To...Enumerable` to `Extensions.To...Seq`
     - Added `toJsonList...` overloads

     v14.0.0
     - (Breaking change) Renamed types in Domain:
       BodyContent -> SinglepartContent
       RequestContent -> BodyContent
       FsHttpUrl -> FsHttpTarget
     - (Breaking change) FsHttpUrl (now FsHttpTarget) and Header restructured: method, address and queryParams are now part of the FsHttpTarget type.
     - Added `headerTransformers` to Config for better composability

     v13.3.0
     - (Breaking change) All `Response._TAsync` functions (task based) in F# require a CancellationToken now.
     - (Breaking change) Extension methods rework
     - (Breaking change) There's no more StartingContext, which means:
       we give up a little bit of safety here, for the sake of pre-configuring HTTP requests
       without specifying the URL. This is a trade-off we are willing to take.

     v12.2.0
     - added HttpMethods for better composability

     v12.1.0
     - net8.0

     v12.0.0
     - #137 / #102: Change the type for FsHttpUrl.additionalQueryParams from obj to string
     - Removed (auto opened) Async.await and Task.map/await
     - Moved (auto opened) Async.map to FsHttp.Helper.Async.map

     v11.1.0
     - #130 / #105: Add method for user-supplied cancellation token

     v11.0.0
     - #121 (Breaking change): Turning off debug logs in FSI (breaking change in signature / namespace)
     - #124: Support Repeating Query Parameters (thanks @DaveJohnson8080)
     - #106 (Breaking change): Allow filename metadata with other "parts" (thanks @dawedawe)
     - Breaking change: ContentTypeForPart custom operations should come after part definition
     - #104 (Breaking change): Automatic GZip response decompression per Default
     - Other breaking changes:
       - Removed `ContentTypeWithEncoding` and used optional `charset` parameter in `ContentType` overloads.
       - Renamed `byteArray` to `binary` in Dsl, DslCE and CSharp.
       - Caution (!!): Renamed `stringPart` to `textPart` and changed argument order for `name` and `value` in Dsl and DslCE.
       - Restructured types in Domain
       - `Helper` is a module instead of a namespace, and some things were moved.
       - All transformers in config are a list of transformers instead of a single item.
       - Removed `setHttpClient`. Please use `setHttpClientFactory` instead.
       - `setHttpClientFactory` takes a `Config` as input argument.
