defmodule ExAws.Request.HttpClient do
@moduledoc """
Specifies expected behaviour of an HTTP client.
ExAws allows you to use your HTTP client of choice, provided that
it can be coerced into complying with this module's specification.
The default is `:hackney`.
## Example
Here for example is the code required to make HTTPotion comply with this spec.
In your config you would do:
config :ex_aws,
http_client: ExAws.Request.HTTPotion
defmodule ExAws.Request.HTTPotion do
@behaviour ExAws.Request.HttpClient
def request(method, url, body, headers, http_opts) do
{:ok, HTTPotion.request(method, url, [body: body, headers: headers, ibrowse: [headers_as_is: true]])}
end
end
```
When conforming your selected HTTP Client take note of a few things:
- The module name doesn't need to follow the same styling as this module it
is simply your own 'HTTP Client', i.e. `MyApp.HttpClient`
- The request function must accept the methods as described in the
`c:request/5` callback, you can however set these as optional,
i.e. `http_opts \\ []`
- Ensure the call to your chosen HTTP Client is correct and the return is
in the same format as defined in the `c:request/5` callback
## Example
def request(method, url, body, headers, http_opts \\ []) do
Mojito.request(method, url, headers, body, http_opts)
end
