FsHttp ("Full Stack HTTP") is a "hackable HTTP client" that offers a legible style for the basics while still affording full access to the underlying HTTP representations for covering unusual cases. It's the best of both worlds: Convenience and Flexibility.

  • 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#).

Release Notes / Migrating to new versions

Building

.Net SDK:

You need to have a recent .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 were taken from the HTTP utilities of FSharp.Data.
  • Credits to all critics, supporters, contributors, promoters, users, and friends.

14.5.1
     - Fixed untracked bug: using config_useBaseUrl as http template won't crash when printing unfinished requests

     14.5.0
     - Added 'useBaseUrl' and 'transformUrl' to Config for better composability
     - Fixed some extension methods

     14.4.2
     - Thanks @bartelink
       Pinned FSharp.Core to 5.0.2 in all library projects
       Removed net7.0, net8.0 TFM-specific builds
       Lots of other cool stability-oriented stuff and detail-work

     14.4.1
     - Fixed missing explicit dependency on FSharp.Core

     14.4.0
     - Fixed pre-configured requests

     14.3.0
     - Added `GetList` JsonElement extension
     
     14.2.0
     - (Breaking change) Separated Config and PrintHint (...and many more things in these domains)

     14.1.0
     - (Breaking change) Renamed `Extensions.To...Enumerable` to `Extensions.To...Seq`
     - Added `toJsonList...` overloads

     14.0.0
     - (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

     13.3.0
     - (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.

     12.2.0
     - added HttpMethods for better composability

     12.1.0
     - net8.0

     12.0.0
     - #137 / #102: Change the type for FsHttpUrl.additionalQueryParams from obj to string

     11.0.0
     - #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.
