Re: cohttp_lwt_mirage.ml / client



I have the exact same problem for the GitHub client API too.  As a short-term fix, we could bind an embedded SSL library, and as a medium-term action, wait for ctypes stub generation to make this easier.

Jon: do you have the sources to the SSL library you did bindings too at that Yahoo event we were at?  I'm back in Cambridge and resuming work on mirage-platform on Wednesday, so I can look at SSL in the Xen backend at the same time.

Thanks, Dave.
Unfortunately it turns out it is a HTTPS-only API (and I should also be using https for my server for a “real” deployment) so
can someone comment on the status/timeline of https support, client and server?
 
Cheers
Chris

My common pattern is like this:
 
 
-- instantiate Request and Response (I'm using a non-standard I/O module here, but you can use the cohttp mirage module IIRC) and then 
 
      let request = Cohttp.Request.make ~meth:`PUT ~version:`HTTP_1_1 ~headers uri' in
      Request.write (fun t _ -> return ()) request c >>= fun () ->
      Response.read (Cohttp_unbuffered_io.make_input c) >>= fun r ->
      begin match r with
      | None -> fail (Failure "Unable to parse HTTP response from server")
      | Some x ->
 
In the future I'd like a client which can handle a set of open connections (perhaps growing and shrinking the set according to load and policy) and which helps me build higher-level APIs on top which can do things like transparently login after a session times out.

is there any news on the return of the cohttp client?
I need to start making some HTTP requests from my mirage-based web service...
What is the best ultra-short-term workaround? (i am mostly developing on unix/sockets)
cheers
