The Client module implements an HTTP client interface using asynchronous XmlHttpRequests. The response body is returned in chucked form with 128Kb / chunk. Body data is treated as raw bytes. withCredentials property of XHR is set to false.

type ctx
val sexp_of_ctx : ctx -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
val default_ctx : ctx
val call : ?ctx:ctx -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> ?body:Cohttp_lwt.Body.t -> ?chunked:bool -> Cohttp.Code.meth -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t

call ?ctx ?headers ?body ?chunked meth uri will resolve the uri to a concrete network endpoint using the resolver initialized in ctx. It will then issue an HTTP request with method meth, adding request headers from headers if present. If a body is specified then that will be included with the request, using chunked encoding if chunked is true. The default is to disable chunked encoding for HTTP request bodies for compatibility reasons.

In most cases you should use the more specific helper calls in the interface rather than invoke this function directly. See head, get and post for some examples.

val head : ?ctx:ctx -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> Uri.t -> Cohttp.Response.t Lwt.t
val get : ?ctx:ctx -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t
val delete : ?ctx:ctx -> ?body:Cohttp_lwt.Body.t -> ?chunked:bool -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t
val post : ?ctx:ctx -> ?body:Cohttp_lwt.Body.t -> ?chunked:bool -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t
val put : ?ctx:ctx -> ?body:Cohttp_lwt.Body.t -> ?chunked:bool -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t
val patch : ?ctx:ctx -> ?body:Cohttp_lwt.Body.t -> ?chunked:bool -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t
val post_form : ?ctx:ctx -> ?headers:Cohttp.Header.t -> params:(string * string list) list -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt.t
val callv : ?ctx:ctx -> Uri.t -> (Cohttp.Request.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt_stream.t -> (Cohttp.Response.t * Cohttp_lwt.Body.t) Lwt_stream.t Lwt.t
