http-client

===========

Full tutorial docs are available at:

https://haskell-lang.org/library/http-client

An HTTP client engine, intended as a base layer for more user-friendly packages.

This codebase has been refactored from [http-conduit](http://www.stackage.org/package/http-conduit).

Note that, if you want to make HTTPS secure connections, you should use

[http-client-tls](https://www.stackage.org/package/http-client-tls) in addition

to this library.

Below is a series of cookbook recipes. A number of recipes exist elsewhere,

including `Network.HTTP.Client` and `Network.HTTP.Conduit`. The goal is to

expand this list over time.

## Proxy environment variable

Use the following approach to get proxy settings from the `http_proxy` and

`https_proxy` environment variables.

```haskell

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Network.HTTP.Client

main :: IO ()

main = do

    let settings = managerSetProxy

            (proxyEnvironment Nothing)

            defaultManagerSettings

    man <- newManager settings

    let req = "http://httpbin.org"

            -- Note that the following settings will be completely ignored.

            { proxy = Just $ Proxy "localhost" 1234

            }

    httpLbs req man >>= print

```
