urlfetch

========

urlfetch is a fork of original urlfetch project [1]. It was re-written using

webmachine [2] to avoid socket implementation between server and a client.

Asynchronous URL Fetch Service

==============================

This project aims at providing a URL Fetch service for web application

developers to make concurrent asynchronous HTTP requests. The service is

entirely written in Erlang and so, it leverages the robust and scalable

Erlang/OTP platform.

The `urlfetch_async.erl, urlfetch_cache.erl, utlfetch_http.erl,

urlfetch_uuid.erl` were part of original urlfetch project, see [1], and further

extended and adopted for this implementation.

Requirements

------------

In order to run the URL Fetch service, Erlang/OTP R14A or higher is required.

Rebar [3] build tool to build urlfetch.

Credits

-------

Original idea, design and implementation belongs to Tobias Rodaebel, see

Copyright and License notice above.

The code has been extended by Valentin Kuznetsov to cover the following topics:

- replace `urlfetch_cache` implementation with `gen_server` behavior

- add support of X509 authentication with remove services

- replace original packaging with rebar (ability to create release distribution)

- drop off socket implementation in favor of standard HTTP access

  - code has been re-written to use webmachine as HTTP server back-end

Installation

------------

1. run make

2. start.sh

you may tweak start.sh options for your server needs.
