[ruby-core:115837] [Ruby master Bug#20077] modern http client

[kjtsanaktsidis (KJ Tsanaktsidis) via ruby-core]

Issue #20077 has been updated by kjtsanaktsidis (KJ Tsanaktsidis).

Status changed from Open to Feedback

It would be good if you could outline in more detail:

* What, exactly, about net/http you find hard to use?
* Some use-cases where net/http causes problems which could be improved with a different client interface
* Why this use-case can't be solved by using one of the many popular Rubygems for this, like Faraday, HTTParty, etc?
* What you feel the relationship between stdlib & these gems should be?
* Since you mentioned that it's "very very old", whether there is something specific about its age which is a problem? (e.g. are there design assumptions it makes which no longer stack up today?)

Without a more specific use-case beyond "net/http is hard to use" it's hard to have a meaningful discussion.

For GET and POST, modern Ruby does have APIs that aren't hard to use. I wonder if you have used them.

* `Net::HTTP.get(uri, headers = {})`: Ruby 3.0+ https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16686
* `Net::HTTP.post(uri, body, headers = {})`: Ruby 2.4+ https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12375

[ruby-core:115841] [Ruby master Bug#20077] modern http client

[pynix (Pynix wang) via ruby-core]

Issue #20077 has been updated by pynix (Pynix wang).


HTTP.get return body as string,

other http method return response

there is  get_print, maybe for scripting.

HTTP:Client api is also hard to use.

can we deprecate net/*

and get an modern http client (or server) in std.

http.rb is great.

If you look at what `HTTP.get` does, it's just `HTTP.get_response(...).body`. You may use `HTTP.get_response` for that purpose.

I know，but this is the bad part，they are http verb，but some return response，some return body string.

all verb method should return response object, modify net/http will break compatibility.

so I suggest opt out net/http and webrick, introduce new http/client and http/server based on llhttp that nodejs used.
