0.23.0 ↑

Features ↑

:retries plugin: resumable requests ↑

The :retries plugin will now support scenarios where, if the request being retried supports the range header, and a partial response has been already buffered, the retry will resume from there and only download the missing data.

HTTPX::ErrorResponse#response ↑

As a result, ´HTTPX::ErrorResponse#response` has also been introduced; error responses may have an actual response. This happens in cases where the request failed after a partial response was initiated.

:buffer_size option ↑

A nnew option, :buffer_size, can be used to tweak the buffers used by the read/write socket routines (16k by default, you can lower it in memory-constrained environments).

Improvements ↑

:native resolver falls back to TCP for truncated messages ↑

The :native resolver will repeat DNS queries to a nameserver via TCP when the first attempt is marked as truncated. This behaviour is both aligned with getaddrinfo and the resolv standard library.

This introduces a new resolver_options option, :socket_type, which can now be :tcp if it is to remain the default.

Chore ↑

HTTPX.build_request should receive upcased string (i.e. “GET”) ↑

Functions which receive an HTTP verb should be given he verb in “upcased string” format now. The usage of symbols is still possible, but a deprecation warning will be emitted, and support will be removed in v1.0.0 .

Remove HTTPX::Registry ↑

These internal registries were a bit magical to use, difficult to debug, not thread-safe, and overall a nuisance when it came to type checking. While there is the possibility that someone was relying on it existing, nothing had ever been publicly documented.

Bugfixes ↑

  • fixed proxy discovery using proxy env vars (HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY…) being enabled/disabled based on first host uused in the session;

  • fixed :no_proxy option usage inn the :proxy plugin.

  • fixed webmock adapter to correctly disable it when Webmock.disable! is called.

  • fixed bug in :digest_authentication plugin when enabled and no credentials were passed.

  • fixed several bugs in the sentry adapter around breadcrumb handling.

  • fixed :native resolver candidate calculation by putting absolute domain at the bottom of the list.
