HTTP client

The http module is also a client. Each call returns the response body as a string (or, for head/status, the status code).

import http

// GET
let post = http.get("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1")
println(post)

// POST with a JSON body
let newPost = "{\"title\":\"Langoost\",\"body\":\"Fast scripting\",\"userId\":1}"
let created = http.post("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts", newPost)
println(created)

// HEAD — check existence without downloading the body
let status = http.head("https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1")
if status == 200 {
    println("resource exists")
}

// Generic request with custom headers (headers is a string[])
let resp = http.request("GET", "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/2", "", [
    "Accept: application/json",
    "Authorization: Bearer my-token"
])
println(resp)

Available methods: get, post, put, patch, delete, head, status, and the generic request(method, url, body, headers).
