Client_Request

Fields

method: := Method.GET

url: string

http://host[:port]/path?query (or https://), or /path?query relative to the client's base_url.

headers: [] Header_Field

Host, Content-Length and User-Agent are added when missing

body: [] u8

timeout: := -1

Milliseconds for the whole exchange, redirects and reading the body included (0: no limit, -1: the client's timeout).

max_redirects: := -1

Follow 301, 302, 303, 307 and 308 up to this many times (more is an error), or not at all when 0: the 3xx response is returned. -1 is the client's max_redirects. 301, 302 and 303 turn a POST into a GET without a body; 307 and 308 repeat the request. Authorization and Cookie are not sent to another host.

max_response_size: := 64 * 1024 * 1024

The largest body read_text, read_bytes and read_json accept, in bytes. read_some has no limit: it hands the body over in pieces.
