# Gleam HTTP

Types and functions for HTTP clients and servers!

## HTTP Service Example

```gleam

import gleam/http/elli

import gleam/http/response.{type Response}

import gleam/http/request.{type Request}

import gleam/bytes_builder.{type BytesBuilder}

// Define a HTTP service

//

pub fn my_service(_request: Request(t)) -> Response(BytesBuilder) {

  let body = bytes_builder.from_string("Hello, world!")

  response.new(200)

  |> response.prepend_header("made-with", "Gleam")

  |> response.set_body(body)

}

// Start it on port 3000 using the Elli web server

//

pub fn main() {

  elli.become(my_service, on_port: 3000)

}

```

## Server adapters

In the example above the Elli Erlang web server is used to run the Gleam HTTP

service. Here's a full list of the server adapters available, sorted

alphabetically.
