4 Packages

Packages are listed by definition order.


4.1 trivial-http

trivial-http is a simple networking library for doing HTTP POST
and GET over a socket interface. It establishes a package trivial-http, also called SHTTP, from which the following functions are exported: http-get, http-post, escape-url-query and http-head.

5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *http-debug*
Package

trivial-http.

Source

variables.lisp.

Special Variable: *user-agent*
Package

trivial-http.

Source

variables.lisp.


5.1.2 Ordinary functions

Function: escape-url-query (query)

Escapes a query string in accordance with the HTTP specification.

Package

trivial-http.

Source

trivial-http.lisp.

Function: header-pair (name headers)

Searches headers for name _without_ case sensitivity. Headers should be an alist mapping symbols to values; name a symbol. Returns the (name value) pair if name is found or nil if it is not.

Package

trivial-http.

Source

trivial-http.lisp.

Function: header-value (name headers)

Searchers headers for name _without_ case sensitivity. Headers should be an alist mapping symbols to values; name a symbol. Returns the value if name is found or nil if it is not.

Package

trivial-http.

Source

trivial-http.lisp.

Function: http-download (url destination &key signal-error?)

Resolves ‘url‘ using http-resolve and downloads the contents of the stream it to ‘destination‘. Destination is assumed to be a file. Returns (as multiple values) the number of elements downloaded (e.g., bytes) and the actual URL.

Package

trivial-http.

Source

trivial-http.lisp.

Function: http-get (url)

returns a list of three elements: a response code as integer, an association list of headers returned from the server, and a stream from which the response can be read.

Package

trivial-http.

Source

trivial-http.lisp.

Function: http-head (url)

Returns a list of two elements: a response code as an integer and an association list of headers returned from the server.

Package

trivial-http.

Source

trivial-http.lisp.

Function: http-post (url content-type content &key headers debug?)

given a URL, a MIME content type, and the content as a character stream, POST to the URL and return the list of three elements as described for [http-get][].

Package

trivial-http.

Source

trivial-http.lisp.

Function: http-resolve (url &key http-method signal-error? verbose?)

Similar to [http-get][], ‘http-resolve‘ returns a list of four elements: the HTTP response code, the headers, the stream
and the resolved URL. HTTP-response resolves 301 and 302 responses, and signals an error on responses greater
than 400. If there is not an error, then the caller is responsible for closing the HTTP stream.

trivial-http.

trivial-http.lisp.
