def expect[A](req: Request[F])(implicit d: EntityDecoder[F, A]): F[A]

Submits a request and decodes the response on success. On failure, the status code is returned. The underlying HTTP connection is closed at the completion of the decoding.

def fetchAs[A](req: F[Request[F]])(implicit d: EntityDecoder[F, A]): F[A]

def get[A](uri: Uri)(f: Response[F] => F[A]): F[A]

Submits a GET request, and provides a callback to process the response.

Submits a GET request, and provides a callback to process the response.

Value Params
f

A callback for the response to a GET on uri. The underlying HTTP connection is disposed when the returned task completes. Attempts to read the response body afterward will result in an error.

uri

The URI to GET

Returns

The result of applying f to the response to req

def get[A](s: String)(f: Response[F] => F[A]): F[A]

Submits a request and decodes the response on success. On failure, the status code is returned. The underlying HTTP connection is closed at the completion of the decoding.

def run(req: Request[F]): Resource[F, Response[F]]
def status(req: Request[F]): F[Status]

Submits a request and returns the response status

Submits a request and returns the response status

def status(req: F[Request[F]]): F[Status]

Submits a request and returns the response status

Submits a request and returns the response status

def statusFromString(s: String): F[Status]

Submits a GET request to the URI and returns the response status

Submits a GET request to the URI and returns the response status

def statusFromUri(uri: Uri): F[Status]

Submits a GET request to the URI and returns the response status

Submits a GET request to the URI and returns the response status

def stream(req: Request[F]): Stream[F, Response[F]]

Run the request as a stream. The response lifecycle is equivalent to the returned Stream's.

Run the request as a stream. The response lifecycle is equivalent to the returned Stream's.

def successful(req: Request[F]): F[Boolean]

Submits a request and returns true if and only if the response status is successful

Submits a request and returns true if and only if the response status is successful

def successful(req: F[Request[F]]): F[Boolean]

Submits a request and returns true if and only if the response status is successful

Submits a request and returns true if and only if the response status is successful

def toHttpApp: HttpApp[F]

Returns this client as an HttpApp. It is the responsibility of callers of this service to run the response body to dispose of the underlying HTTP connection.

Returns this client as an HttpApp. It is the responsibility of callers of this service to run the response body to dispose of the underlying HTTP connection.

This is intended for use in proxy servers. run, fetchAs, toKleisli, and streaming are safer alternatives, as their signatures guarantee disposal of the HTTP connection.

def toKleisli[A](f: Response[F] => F[A]): Kleisli[F, Request[F], A]

Returns this client as a cats.data.Kleisli. All connections created by this service are disposed on completion of callback task f.

Returns this client as a cats.data.Kleisli. All connections created by this service are disposed on completion of callback task f.

This method effectively reverses the arguments to run followed by use, and is preferred when an HTTP client is composed into a larger Kleisli function, or when a common response callback is used by many call sites.
