http

HTTP client module. All methods return a response hash with:

Key	Type	Description
`status_code`	int	HTTP status code (200, 404, etc.)
`body`	string	Response body
`headers`	hash	Response headers (`{"Content-Type" => "application/json", ...}`)

use "http"

get

Performs an HTTP GET request. Returns a response hash.

resp = http.get("https://httpbin.org/get")
puts resp.status_code  # 200
puts resp.body         # response body
puts resp.headers["Content-Type"]

Optional second argument sets custom headers:

headers = {"Authorization" => "Bearer token123", "Accept" => "application/json"}
resp = http.get("https://api.example.com/data", headers)

Panics on network errors.

Performs an HTTP POST request. Returns a response hash.

resp = http.post("https://httpbin.org/post", "{\"name\": \"rugo\"}")
puts resp.status_code
puts resp.body

Optional third argument sets custom headers (default Content-Type is application/json):

headers = {"Authorization" => "Bearer token123"}
resp = http.post(url, body, headers)

Panics on network errors.

Performs an HTTP PUT request. Returns a response hash.

resp = http.put(url, "{\"title\": \"updated\"}", headers)
puts resp.status_code

Optional third argument sets custom headers.

Performs an HTTP PATCH request. Returns a response hash.

resp = http.patch(url, "{\"title\": \"new title\"}", headers)
puts resp.status_code

Optional third argument sets custom headers.

Performs an HTTP DELETE request. Returns a response hash.

resp = http.delete(url)
puts resp.status_code

Optional second argument sets custom headers:

headers = {"Authorization" => "Bearer token123"}
resp = http.delete(url, headers)

Panics on network errors.

HTTP methods do not panic on non-2xx status codes — check status_code instead:

resp = http.get("https://api.example.com/missing")
if resp.status_code != 200
  puts "Error: " + resp.body
end

Network errors (connection refused, DNS failure) still panic and integrate with try/or:

resp = try http.get("http://unreachable:9999") or nil
if resp == nil
  puts "request failed"
end
