emacs-request - Request.el -- Easy HTTP request for Emacs Lisp

•    Emacs

---

Request.el is a HTTP request library with multiple backends. It supports url.el which is shipped with Emacs and curl command line program. User can use curl when s/he has it, as curl is more reliable than url.el. Library author can use request.el to avoid imposing external dependencies such as curl to users while giving richer experience for users who have curl. As request.el is implemented in extensible manner, it is possible to implement other backend such as wget. Also, if future version of Emacs support linking with libcurl, it is possible to implement a backend using it. Libraries using request.el automatically can use these backend without modifying their code.

HTTPie - a CLI, cURL-like tool for humans

•    Python

---

HTTPie (pronounced aitch-tee-tee-pie) is a command line HTTP client. Its goal is to make CLI interaction with web services as human-friendly as possible. It provides a simple http command that allows for sending arbitrary HTTP requests using a simple and natural syntax, and displays colorized output. HTTPie can be used for testing, debugging, and generally interacting with HTTP servers.

php-restclient - A generic REST API client for PHP

•    PHP

---

headers - An associative array of HTTP headers and values to be included in every request. parameters - An associative array of URL or body parameters to be included in every request. curl_options - cURL options to apply to every request; anything defined here: https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php. These will override any automatically generated values. build_indexed_queries (bool) - http_build_query automatically adds an array index to repeated parameters which is not desirable on most systems. Use this option to enable the default behavior. Defaults to FALSE. user_agent - User agent string to use in requests. base_url - URL to use for the base of each request. format - Format string is appended to resource on request (extension), and used to determine which decoder to use on response; a request URL like "api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json" would be expected to return well-formed JSON. format_regex - Pattern to extract format from response Content-Type header, used to determine which decoder to use on response. decoders - Associative array of format decoders. See "Direct Iteration and Response Decoding". username - Username to use for HTTP basic authentication. Requires password. password - Password to use for HTTP basic authentication. Requires username. url (string) - URL of the resource you are requesting. Will be prepended with the value of the base_url option, if it has been configured. Will be appended with the value of the format option, if it has been configured.

Requests - Requests for PHP is a humble HTTP request library

•    PHP

---

Requests is a HTTP library written in PHP, for human beings. It is roughly based on the API from the excellent Requests Python library. Requests is ISC Licensed (similar to the new BSD license) and has no dependencies, except for PHP 5.2+. Despite PHP's use as a language for the web, its tools for sending HTTP requests are severely lacking. cURL has an interesting API, to say the least, and you can't always rely on it being available. Sockets provide only low level access, and require you to build most of the HTTP response parsing yourself.

tldr; Stripe-inspired API wrapper for WHATWG's fetch() method for making simple HTTP requests (alternative to superagent, request, axios).If you're using node-fetch, you need node-fetch@v1.5.3 to use form-data with files properly (due to https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch/issues/102) If you experience form file upload issues, please see https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/7564#issuecomment-266323928.

request-promise - The simplified HTTP request client 'request' with Promise support

•    Javascript

---

The simplified HTTP request client 'request' with Promise support. Powered by Bluebird.Request and Bluebird are pretty awesome, but I found myself using the same design pattern. Request-Promise adds a Bluebird-powered .then(...) method to Request call objects. By default, http response codes other than 2xx will cause the promise to be rejected. This can be overwritten by setting options.simple = false.

react-relay-network-layer - ReactRelayNetworkLayer with middlewares and query batching for Relay Classic

•    Javascript

---

The ReactRelayNetworkLayer is a Relay Network Layer with various middlewares which can manipulate requests/responses on the fly (change auth headers, request url or perform some fallback if request fails), batch several relay request by timeout into one http request. ReactRelayNetworkLayer can be used in browser, react-native or node server for rendering. Under the hood this module uses global fetch method. So if your client is too old, please import explicitly proper polyfill to your code (eg. whatwg-fetch, node-fetch or fetch-everywhere).

restinio - A header-only C++14 library that gives you an embedded HTTP/Websocket server

•    C++

---

RESTinio is a header-only C++14 library that gives you an embedded HTTP/Websocket server. It is based on standalone version of ASIO and targeted primarily for asynchronous processing of HTTP-requests. Since v.0.4.1 Boost::ASIO (1.66 or higher) is also supported (see notes on building with Boost::ASIO). Server runs on the main thread, and respond to all requests with hello-world message. Of course you've got an access to the structure of a given HTTP request, so you can apply a complex logic for handling requests.
