Set request headers

[Robin Green]

How can I set HTTP request headers such as Accept?

[Jon Pretty]

Hi Robin,

These can be provided as a Map[String, String] in an optional parameter to the put or post methods, e.g.

   val content = json"{}" // Boring example...
   val url = Http / "example.com" / "endpoint"

   url.post(content, httpHeaders = Map(
     "Accept" -> "text/plain",
     "Accept-Language" -> "en-US"
   ))

Cheers,
Jon

Thanks. I'd like to be able to set them for all request methods, including GET.

Ah, that's something you can't do yet. I'll need to think about the best way of allowing that.  One possibility would be to add a get method alongside put and post, with the same semantics...

Hopefully I can slip a quick solution into version 0.8 which I'm hoping to get out the door this week.

Cheers,

Hey there,

Was this ever implemented? Can't find anything in the docs. The Rapture demo at Scala by the Bay was mind-blowing; I just really want to use it with OAuth bearer tokens!

Hi Andy,

Thanks!

I didn't spend any time covering the HTTP utilities in the talk, as this is less well tested than the other I/O tools, but it's something I do want to continue developing.

Nevertheless, the functionality is there - just be aware that it's more likely to have quirks...

Try this:

  import rapture.core.timeSystems.numeric // this is so we can specify the timeout in ms
  val request = uri"http://some.url.com/request".post(content = "some post data", timeout = 10000L, httpHeaders = Map("foo" -> "bar"))
  request.slurp[Char]

That should give you a string of the message.

There is also a thing called `Browser` which allows you to maintain cookie state between requests, though that's still experimental for now!

Sorry for the brief explanation. The documentation is very much a work-in-progress, but in case you haven't seen it yet, have a look at:

  https://github.com/propensive/rapture-io/blob/master/doc/introduction.md

which (although incomplete) should give you a reasonable overview of what's supported in Rapture IO.

Good luck!
Jon
