NetHttp2

NetHttp2 is an HTTP2 client for Ruby.

Installation

Just install the gem:

$ gem install net-http2

Or add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'net-http2'

Usage

With a blocking call:

require 'net-http2'

# create a client
client = NetHttp2::Client.new(uri: "http://106.186.112.116")

# send request
response = client.get('/')

# read the response
response.ok?      # => true
response.status   # => '200'
response.headers  # => {":status"=>"200"}
response.body     # => "A body"

# close the connection
client.close

With a a non-blocking call:

require 'net-http2'

# create a client
client = NetHttp2::Client.new(uri: "http://106.186.112.116")

# send request
client.async_get('/') do |response|

  # read the response
  p response.ok?      # => true
  p response.status   # => '200'
  p response.headers  # => {":status"=>"200"}
  p response.body     # => "A body"

  # close the connection
  client.close
end

# quick & dirty fix to wait for the block to be called asynchronously
sleep 5

Objects

`NetHttp2::Client`

To create a new client:

NetHttp2::Client.new(uri)

Methods

new(uri, options={}) → NetHttp2::Client Returns w new client. uri is a string such as https://localhost:443. The only current option is :ssl_context, in case the uri has an https scheme and you want your SSL client to use a custom context.

For instance:

  certificate = File.read("cert.pem")
  ctx         = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new
  ctx.key     = OpenSSL::PKey::RSA.new(certificate, "cert_password")
  ctx.cert    = OpenSSL::X509::Certificate.new(certificate)

  NetHttp2::Client.new(uri, ssl_context: ctx)

uri → URI Returns the URI of the APNS endpoint.
get(path, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a GET request. This is a blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.

For example:

  response_1 = client.get('/path1')
  response_2 = client.get('/path2', { 'x-custom-header' => 'custom' })
  response_3 = client.get('/path3', { 'x-custom-header' => 'custom' }, timeout: 1)

post(path, body, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a POST request. This is a blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.
put(path, body, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a PUT request. This is a blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.
delete(path, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a DELETE request. This is a blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.
async_get(path, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a GET request. This is a non-blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.

For example:

  client.get('/path1') { |response_1| p response_2 }
  client.get('/path2', { 'x-custom-header' => 'custom' }) { |response_2| p response_2 }
  client.get('/path3', {}, timeout: 1) { |response_3| p response_3 }

async_post(path, body, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a POST request. This is a non-blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.
async_put(path,body, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a PUT request. This is a non-blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.
async_delete(path, headers={}, options={}) → NetHttp2::Response or nil Sends a DELETE request. This is a non-blocking call. Options can only specify a :timeout (defaults to 60). Returns nil in case a timeout occurs.

`NetHttp2::Response`

Methods

ok? → boolean Returns if the request was successful.
headers → hash Returns a Hash containing the Headers of the response.
status → string Returns the status code.
body → string Returns the RAW body of the response.

Contributing

So you want to contribute? That's great! Please follow the guidelines below. It will make it easier to get merged in.

Before implementing a new feature, please submit a ticket to discuss what you intend to do. Your feature might already be in the works, or an alternative implementation might have already been discussed.

Do not commit to master in your fork. Provide a clean branch without merge commits. Every pull request should have its own topic branch. In this way, every additional adjustments to the original pull request might be done easily, and squashed with git rebase -i. The updated branch will be visible in the same pull request, so there will be no need to open new pull requests when there are changes to be applied.

Ensure to include proper testing. To run tests you simply have to be in the project's root directory and run:

$ rake
