Introduction ↟

This is simply meant to be a dead-simple HTTP client for LFE projects. That's all there is to it. It can use one of several possible HTTP clients under the hood. Some of those can can be a little cumbersome for those new to Erlang when used directly, so lhc can be quite helpful for them.

Dependencies ↟

As of version 0.2.0, this project assumes that you have rebar3 installed somwhere in your $PATH. It no longer uses the old version of rebar. If you do not wish to use rebar3, you may use the most recent rebar2-compatible release of lhc: 0.1.0.

Installation ↟

Just add it to your rebar.config deps:

{deps, [
...
{lhc, ".*",
  {git, "[e-mail]:lfex/lhc.git", "master"}}
  ]}.

And then do the usual:

$ rebar compile

Usage ↟

Usage information is provided in the documentation.

Backends ↟

lhc is not an HTTP client in its own right, rather a wrapper for HTTP clients. These "backends" are selectable using a directive in the lfe.config file. For more information, see the backend documentation.
