Class type
Portable Lwt implementation of HTTP client and server, without depending on a particular I/O implementation. The various Make
functors must be instantiated by an implementation that provides a concrete IO monad.
module type IO = Cohttp.S.IO with type 'a t = 'a Lwt.t
The IO module is specialized for the Lwt
monad.
module type Net = sig ... end
The Net
module type defines how to connect to a remote node and close the resulting channels to clean up.
module type Client = sig ... end
The Client
module implements non-pipelined single HTTP client calls. Each call will open a separate Net
connection. For best results, the Cohttp_lwt_body
that is returned should be consumed in order to close the file descriptor in a timely fashion. It will still be finalized by a GC hook if it is not used up, but this can take some additional time to happen.
module type Server = sig ... end
The Server
module implements a pipelined HTTP/1.1 server.
