hxhttp

This is a library to make HTTP/S requests natively on each platform.

It currently supports: - Js in the browser with XMLHttpRequests - MacOS and iOS with NSURLConnections

Planned platforms: - Node.js - Windows - Android

Example

HttpRequest.request({
    url: "https://httpbin.org/post",
    method: POST,
    headers: [
        'Content-Type' => 'text/plain',
    ],
    queryParams: [
        "param1" => "a",
        "param2" => "b",
    ],
    body: haxe.io.Bytes.ofString('This is my body'),
    onDone: (response:hxhttp.Response) -> {
        trace(response.statusCode); // 200
        var body:Res = haxe.Json.parse(response.data.toString());
        trace(body.url); // https://httpbin.org/post?param1=a&param2=b
        trace(body.args.param1); // a
        trace(body.args.param2); // b
        trace(body.data); // This is my body
    },
});

Set up

haxelib install hxhttp Add it to your haxe compile command with -lib hxhttp. On mac and ios you have to pass -D objc as well, and have a min cpp std version of 14 (<compilerflag value="-std=c++14" />).

Known issues

On mac/iOS you need to have a running NSRunLoop. If you don't, the request will block for 5 seconds.
