class Net::HTTPSession
Class Net::HTTP provides a rich library that implements the client in a client-server model that uses the HTTP request-response protocol. For information about HTTP, see:
About the Examples¶↑
Examples here assume thatnet/http has been required (which also requiresuri):
require'net/http'
Many code examples here use these example websites:
Some examples also assume these variables:
uri =URI('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/')uri.freeze# Examples may not modify.hostname =uri.hostname# => "jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"path =uri.path# => "/"port =uri.port# => 443
So that example requests may be written as:
Net::HTTP.get(uri)Net::HTTP.get(hostname,'/index.html')Net::HTTP.start(hostname)do|http|http.get('/todos/1')http.get('/todos/2')end
An example that needs a modifiedURI first duplicatesuri, then modifies the duplicate:
_uri =uri.dup_uri.path ='/todos/1'
Strategies¶↑
If you will make only a few GET requests, consider using
OpenURI.If you will make only a few requests of all kinds, consider using the various singleton convenience methods in this class. Each of the following methods automatically starts and finishes asession that sends a single request:
# Return string response body.Net::HTTP.get(hostname,path)Net::HTTP.get(uri)# Write string response body to $stdout.Net::HTTP.get_print(hostname,path)Net::HTTP.get_print(uri)# Return response as Net::HTTPResponse object.Net::HTTP.get_response(hostname,path)Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)data ='{"title": "foo", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}'Net::HTTP.post(uri,data)params = {title:'foo',body:'bar',userId:1}Net::HTTP.post_form(uri,params)data ='{"title": "foo", "body": "bar", "userId": 1}'Net::HTTP.put(uri,data)
If performance is important, consider using sessions, which lower request overhead. Thissession has multiple requests forHTTP methods andWebDAV methods:
Net::HTTP.start(hostname)do|http|# Session started automatically before block execution.http.get(path)http.head(path)body ='Some text'http.post(path,body)# Can also have a block.http.put(path,body)http.delete(path)http.options(path)http.trace(path)http.patch(path,body)# Can also have a block.http.copy(path)http.lock(path,body)http.mkcol(path,body)http.move(path)http.propfind(path,body)http.proppatch(path,body)http.unlock(path,body)# Session finished automatically at block exit.end
The methods cited above are convenience methods that, via their few arguments, allow minimal control over the requests. For greater control, consider usingrequest objects.
URIs¶↑
On the internet, aURI (Universal Resource Identifier) is a string that identifies a particular resource. It consists of some or all of: scheme, hostname, path, query, and fragment; seeURI syntax.
A RubyURI::Generic object represents an internetURI. It provides, among others, methodsscheme,hostname,path,query, andfragment.
Schemes¶↑
An internet URI has ascheme.
The two schemes supported in Net::HTTP are'https' and'http':
uri.scheme# => "https"URI('http://example.com').scheme# => "http"
Hostnames¶↑
A hostname identifies a server (host) to which requests may be sent:
hostname =uri.hostname# => "jsonplaceholder.typicode.com"Net::HTTP.start(hostname)do|http|# Some HTTP stuff.end
Paths¶↑
A host-specific path identifies a resource on the host:
_uri =uri.dup_uri.path ='/todos/1'hostname =_uri.hostnamepath =_uri.pathNet::HTTP.get(hostname,path)
Queries¶↑
A host-specific query adds name/value pairs to the URI:
_uri =uri.dupparams = {userId:1,completed:false}_uri.query =URI.encode_www_form(params)_uri# => #<URI::HTTPS https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com?userId=1&completed=false>Net::HTTP.get(_uri)
Fragments¶↑
AURI fragment has no effect in Net::HTTP; the same data is returned, regardless of whether a fragment is included.
Request Headers¶↑
Request headers may be used to pass additional information to the host, similar to arguments passed in a method call; each header is a name/value pair.
Each of the Net::HTTP methods that sends a request to the host has optional argumentheaders, where the headers are expressed as a hash of field-name/value pairs:
headers = {Accept:'application/json',Connection:'Keep-Alive'}Net::HTTP.get(uri,headers)
See lists of both standard request fields and common request fields atRequest Fields. A host may also accept other custom fields.
HTTP Sessions¶↑
Asession is a connection between a server (host) and a client that:
Is begun by instance method
Net::HTTP#start.May contain any number of requests.
Is ended by instance method
Net::HTTP#finish.
See example sessions atStrategies.
Session Using Net::HTTP.start¶↑
If you have many requests to make to a single host (and port), consider using singleton methodNet::HTTP.start with a block; the method handles the session automatically by:
In the block, you can use these instance methods, each of which that sends a single request:
get,request_get: GET.head,request_head: HEAD.post,request_post: POST.delete: DELETE.options: OPTIONS.trace: TRACE.patch: PATCH.
Session Using Net::HTTP.start and Net::HTTP.finish¶↑
You can manage a session manually using methodsstart andfinish:
http =Net::HTTP.new(hostname)http.starthttp.get('/todos/1')http.get('/todos/2')http.delete('/posts/1')http.finish# Needed to free resources.
Single-Request Session¶↑
Certain convenience methods automatically handle a session by:
Creating an HTTP object
Starting a session.
Sending a single request.
Finishing the session.
Destroying the object.
Such methods that send GET requests:
::get: Returns the string response body.::get_print: Writes the string response body to $stdout.::get_response: Returns aNet::HTTPResponseobject.
Such methods that send POST requests:
::post: Posts data to the host.::post_form: Posts form data to the host.
HTTP Requests and Responses¶↑
Many of the methods above are convenience methods, each of which sends a request and returns a string without directly using Net::HTTPRequest and Net::HTTPResponse objects.
You can, however, directly create a request object, send the request, and retrieve the response object; see:
Following Redirection¶↑
Each returned response is an instance of a subclass ofNet::HTTPResponse. See theresponse class hierarchy.
In particular, classNet::HTTPRedirection is the parent of all redirection classes. This allows you to craft a case statement to handle redirections properly:
deffetch(uri,limit =10)# You should choose a better exception.raiseArgumentError,'Too many HTTP redirects'iflimit==0res =Net::HTTP.get_response(URI(uri))casereswhenNet::HTTPSuccess# Any success class.reswhenNet::HTTPRedirection# Any redirection class.location =res['Location']warn"Redirected to #{location}"fetch(location,limit-1)else# Any other class.res.valueendendfetch(uri)
Basic Authentication¶↑
Basic authentication is performed according toRFC2617:
req =Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)req.basic_auth('user','pass')res =Net::HTTP.start(hostname)do|http|http.request(req)end
Streaming Response Bodies¶↑
By default Net::HTTP reads an entire response into memory. If you are handling large files or wish to implement a progress bar you can instead stream the body directly to anIO.
Net::HTTP.start(hostname)do|http|req =Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)http.request(req)do|res|open('t.tmp','w')do|f|res.read_bodydo|chunk|f.writechunkendendendend
HTTPS¶↑
HTTPS is enabled for an HTTP connection byNet::HTTP#use_ssl=:
Net::HTTP.start(hostname,:use_ssl=>true)do|http|req =Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)res =http.request(req)end
Or if you simply want to make a GET request, you may pass in aURI object that has an HTTPS URL. Net::HTTP automatically turns on TLS verification if theURI object has a ‘https’URI scheme:
uri# => #<URI::HTTPS https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/>Net::HTTP.get(uri)
Proxy Server¶↑
An HTTP object can have aproxy server.
You can create an HTTP object with a proxy server using methodNet::HTTP.new or methodNet::HTTP.start.
The proxy may be defined either by argumentp_addr or by environment variable'http_proxy'.
Proxy Using Argumentp_addr as a String¶↑
When argumentp_addr is a string hostname, the returnedhttp has the given host as its proxy:
http =Net::HTTP.new(hostname,nil,'proxy.example')http.proxy?# => truehttp.proxy_from_env?# => falsehttp.proxy_address# => "proxy.example"# These use default values.http.proxy_port# => 80http.proxy_user# => nilhttp.proxy_pass# => nil
The port, username, and password for the proxy may also be given:
http =Net::HTTP.new(hostname,nil,'proxy.example',8000,'pname','ppass')# => #<Net::HTTP jsonplaceholder.typicode.com:80 open=false>http.proxy?# => truehttp.proxy_from_env?# => falsehttp.proxy_address# => "proxy.example"http.proxy_port# => 8000http.proxy_user# => "pname"http.proxy_pass# => "ppass"
Proxy Using ‘ENV['http_proxy']’¶↑
When environment variable'http_proxy' is set to a URI string, the returnedhttp will have the server at thatURI as its proxy; note that the URI string must have a protocol such as'http' or'https':
ENV['http_proxy'] ='http://example.com'http =Net::HTTP.new(hostname)http.proxy?# => truehttp.proxy_from_env?# => truehttp.proxy_address# => "example.com"# These use default values.http.proxy_port# => 80http.proxy_user# => nilhttp.proxy_pass# => nil
The URI string may include proxy username, password, and port number:
ENV['http_proxy'] ='http://pname:ppass@example.com:8000'http =Net::HTTP.new(hostname)http.proxy?# => truehttp.proxy_from_env?# => truehttp.proxy_address# => "example.com"http.proxy_port# => 8000http.proxy_user# => "pname"http.proxy_pass# => "ppass"
Filtering Proxies¶↑
With methodNet::HTTP.new (but notNet::HTTP.start), you can use argumentp_no_proxy to filter proxies:
Reject a certain address:
http =Net::HTTP.new('example.com',nil,'proxy.example',8000,'pname','ppass','proxy.example')http.proxy_address# => nil
Reject certain domains or subdomains:
http =Net::HTTP.new('example.com',nil,'my.proxy.example',8000,'pname','ppass','proxy.example')http.proxy_address# => nil
Reject certain addresses and port combinations:
http =Net::HTTP.new('example.com',nil,'proxy.example',8000,'pname','ppass','proxy.example:1234')http.proxy_address# => "proxy.example"http =Net::HTTP.new('example.com',nil,'proxy.example',8000,'pname','ppass','proxy.example:8000')http.proxy_address# => nil
Reject a list of the types above delimited using a comma:
http =Net::HTTP.new('example.com',nil,'proxy.example',8000,'pname','ppass','my.proxy,proxy.example:8000')http.proxy_address# => nilhttp =Net::HTTP.new('example.com',nil,'my.proxy',8000,'pname','ppass','my.proxy,proxy.example:8000')http.proxy_address# => nil
Compression and Decompression¶↑
Net::HTTP does not compress the body of a request before sending.
By default, Net::HTTP adds header'Accept-Encoding' to a newrequest object:
Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)['Accept-Encoding']# => "gzip;q=1.0,deflate;q=0.6,identity;q=0.3"
This requests the server to zip-encode the response body if there is one; the server is not required to do so.
Net::HTTP does not automatically decompress a response body if the response has header'Content-Range'.
Otherwise decompression (or not) depends on the value of headerContent-Encoding:
'deflate','gzip', or'x-gzip': decompresses the body and deletes the header.'none'or'identity': does not decompress the body, but deletes the header.Any other value: leaves the body and header unchanged.
