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.
Note that, if you want to make HTTPS secure connections, you should use 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.
Use the following approach to get proxy settings from the http_proxy
and
https_proxy
environment variables.
{-# 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
