urlfetch

========

urlfetch is a fork of original urlfetch project [1].

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.

Requirements

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

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

The pyurlfetch library [1] is compatible with Python 2.5 up to 2.7

Rebar [2] 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

- separate urlfetch_server_app into application and supervisor components

- add support of X509 authentication with remove services

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

Installation

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

1. run make

2. tune rel/urlfetchd/etc/vm.args (if required)

3. start server:

```

# export PATH=$PWD/rel/urlfetchd/bin:$PATH

# urlfetchd console|start|stop

```

The console mode will start the application and gives you access to

standard Erlang console, while start|stop action will either

start or stop the application (aka daemon mode).

Server configuration:

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

The bapp is a standard OTP application [1]. You can adjust server

parameters in rel/etc/vm.args. The release parameters can be tune-up

in rel/reltool.config.
