Module http¶

Общие сведения¶

The http module, specifically the http.client submodule, provides the functionality of an HTTP client with support for HTTPS and keepalive. It uses routines in the libcurl library.

Индекс¶

Below is a list of all http functions.

http.client.new([options])¶

Construct a new HTTP client instance.

Параметры:	options (table) – the maximum number of entries in the connection cache.
Return:	a new HTTP client instance
Rtype:	userdata

Example:

tarantool> http_client = require('http.client').new({5})
---
...

object client_object¶

client_object:request(method, url, body, opts)¶

If http_client is an HTTP client instance, http_client:request() will perform an HTTP request and, if there is a successful connection, will return a table with connection information.

Параметры:	method (string) – HTTP method, for example „GET“ or „POST“ or „PUT“ url (string) – location, for example „https://tarantool.org/doc“ body (string) – optional initial message, for example „My text string!“ opts (table) – table of connection options, with any of these components: timeout - number of seconds to wait for a curl API read request before timing out ca_path - path to a directory holding one or more certificates to verify the peer with ca_file - path to an SSL certificate file to verify the peer with verify_host - set on/off verification of the certificate’s name (CN) against host. See also CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST verify_peer - set on/off verification of the peer’s SSL certificate. See also CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER ssl_key - path to a private key file for a TLS and SSL client certificate. See also CURLOPT_SSLKEY ssl_cert - path to a SSL client certificate file. See also CURLOPT_SSLCERT headers - table of HTTP headers keepalive_idle - delay, in seconds, that the operating system will wait while the connection is idle before sending keepalive probes. See also CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE keepalive_interval - the interval, in seconds, that the operating system will wait between sending keepalive probes. See also CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE low_speed_time - set the «low speed time» – the time that the transfer speed should be below the «low speed limit» for the library to consider it too slow and abort. See also CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME low_speed_limit - set the «low speed limit» – the average transfer speed in bytes per second that the transfer should be below during «low speed time» seconds for the library to consider it to be too slow and abort. See also CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT verbose - set on/off verbose mode unix_socket – a socket name to use instead of an Internet address, for a local connection. The Tarantool server must be built with libcurl 7.40 or later. See the second example later in this section.
Return:	connection information, with all of these components: status - HTTP response status reason - HTTP response status text headers - a Lua table with normalized HTTP headers body - response body proto - protocol version
Rtype:	table

The following «shortcuts» exist for requests:

• http_client:get(url, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("GET", url, nil, opts)
• http_client:post (url, body, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("POST", url, body, opts)
• http_client:put(url, body, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("POST", url, body, opts)
• http_client:patch(url, body, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("PATCH", url, body, opts)
• http_client:options(url, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("OPTIONS", url, nil, opts)
• http_client:head(url, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("HEAD", url, nil, opts)
• http_client:delete(url, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("DELETE", url, nil, opts)
• http_client:trace(url, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("TRACE", url, nil, opts)
• http_client:connect:(url, options) - shortcut for http_client:request("CONNECT", url, nil, opts)

client_object:stat()¶

The http_client:stat() function returns a table with statistics:

• active_requests - number of currently executing requests
• sockets_added - total number of sockets added into an event loop
• sockets_deleted - total number of sockets sockets from an event loop
• total_requests - total number of requests
• http_200_responses - total number of requests which have returned code HTTP 200
• http_other_responses - total number of requests which have not returned code HTTP 200
• failed_requests - total number of requests which have failed including system errors, curl errors, and HTTP errors

Example 1:

Connect to an HTTP server, look at the size of the response for a „GET“ request, and look at the statistics for the session.

tarantool> http_client = require('http.client').new()
---
...
tarantool> r = http_client:request('GET','http://tarantool.org')
---
...
tarantool> string.len(r.body)
---
- 21725
...
tarantool> http_client:stat()
---
- total_requests: 1
  sockets_deleted: 2
  failed_requests: 0
  active_requests: 0
  http_other_responses: 0
  http_200_responses: 1
  sockets_added: 2

Example 2:

Start two Tarantool instances on the same computer.

On the first Tarantool instance, listen on a Unix socket:

box.cfg{listen='/tmp/unix_domain_socket.sock'}

On the second Tarantool instance, send via http_client:

box.cfg{}
http_client = require('http.client').new({5})
http_client:put('http://localhost/','body',{unix_socket = '/tmp/unix_domain_socket.sock'})

Terminal #1 will show an error message: «Invalid MsgPack». This is not useful but demonstrates the syntax and demonstrates that was sent was received.
