# httpc





![CI](https://github.com/gleam-lang/httpc/workflows/test/badge.svg?branch=main)

Bindings to Erlang's built in HTTP client, `httpc`.

```gleam

import gleam/httpc

import gleam/http.{Get}

import gleam/http/request

import gleam/http/response

import gleam/result

import gleeunit/should

pub fn send_request() {

  // Prepare a HTTP request record

  let assert Ok(req) =

    request.to("https://test-api.service.hmrc.gov.uk/hello/world")

  // Send the HTTP request to the server

  use resp <- result.try(httpc.send(req))

  // We get a response record back

  resp.status

  |> should.equal(200)

  resp

  |> response.get_header("content-type")

  |> should.equal(Ok("application/json"))

  resp.body

  |> should.equal("{\"message\":\"Hello World\"}")

  Ok(resp)

}

```

## Installation

```shell

gleam add gleam_httpc

```

## Use with Erlang/OTP versions older than 26.0

Older versions of HTTPC do not verify TLS connections by default, so with them

your connection may not be secure when using this library. Consider upgrading to

a newer version of Erlang/OTP, or using a different HTTP client such as

[hackney](https://github.com/gleam-lang/hackney).
