HTTP Hypertext Transfer Protocol
History – HTTP/1.1 (v1) - 1999 (RFCs 2616, 7230, 7231,
7232, 7233, 7234 and 7235) – HTTP/2.0 -2015 (RFC 7540)
HTTP 1.1 – most popular protocol in WEB – a
stateless – request => response
HTTP/2 – Binary framing parsing and encoding – Query multiplexing
– Headers Compression – Connection and stream management – And more and more
curl -v https: //google.com > GET / HTTP/1.1 > Host:
google.com > User-Agent: curl/7.51.0 > Accept: */* > < HTTP/1.1 302 Found < Cache-Control: private < Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 < Location: https: // www.google.es/?gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=XIINWr2XIuis8wfFipPwDQ < Content-Length: 269 < <HTML><HEAD><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <TITLE>302 Moved </TITLE> </HEAD><BODY> <H1>302 Moved </H1> The document has moved <A HREF="https: // www.google.es/? gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=XIINWr2XIuis8wfFipPwDQ">here </A>. </BODY> </HTML> Method Resource Protocol Request Response Body Headers
What is about ?
How many Ruby HTTP clients do you know?
Ruby HTTP Clients Net::HTTP RestClient Faraday Ethcon Curb Typhoeus HTTP.rb
HTTPClient HTTParty Patron EM-HTTP-Request Excon
Identical
Ruby HTTP Clients – Support GET/POST/PUT/DELETE methods – Follow redirect
– Proxy – HTTP Auth – Compression – etc
What are the differences?
Engine?
Ruby HTTP Clients Faraday Ethcon Curb Typhoeus Patron Libcurl EM-HTTP-Request
Excon Event machine HTTParty Net::HTTP RestClient HTTP.rb HTTPClient TCPSocket Net::HTTP
DSL?
What else?
Feature (Bugs)!!!
Net::HTTP # request uri = URI.parse('http: //localhost:4567/json') http = Net
::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port) request = Net ::HTTP ::Post.new(uri.request_uri, 'Content-Type' => 'text/json') request.body = { ‘first_name' => 'Leo', ‘last_name' => 'Messi' }.to_json http.request(request) # response [201, { "Сontent-length" => "7", 'Connection' => "Barca" }, "Created"]
Net::HTTP { "content-type" =>"text/html;charset=utf-8", "connection" =>"Barca, close", "x-xss-protection" =>"1; mode=block",
"x-content-type-options" =>"nosniff", "x-frame-options" =>"SAMEORIGIN", "content-length" =>"7" } WHAT?
Net::HTTP # [201, { "Сontent-length" => "7", 'Connection' => "Barca"
}, "Created"] { "content-type" =>"text/html;charset=utf-8", "connection" =>"Barca, close", "x-xss-protection" =>"1; mode=block", "x-content-type-options" =>"nosniff", "x-frame-options" =>"SAMEORIGIN", "content-length" =>"7" } WHAT?
RFC 2616 - "Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1", Section 4.2,
"Message Headers" Each header field consists of a name followed by a colon (":") and the field value. Field names are case- insensitive
HTTPClient Documented? NO!
Typhoeus Typhoeus ::Request.new('localhost:4567/?lang=ruby&author=matz', method: :get).run
Typhoeus # request headers {"User-Agent" =>"Typhoeus - https: //github.com/typhoeus/typhoeus”} WHAT?
Typhoeus Default User-Agent?

gem install sniffer
Sniffer supports most popular HTTP clients: Net::HTTP HTTP HTTPClient Patron

Disabled by default
Sniffer.enable!
Easy configuration
Sniffer.config do logger: Logger.new($stdout), severity: Logger ::Severity ::DEBUG, # HTTP
options to log log: { request_url: true, request_headers: true, request_body: true, request_method: true, response_status: true, response_headers: true, response_body: true, timing: true }, store: true, # save requests/responses to Sniffer.data enabled: false # Sniffer disabled by default end
