;;; Commentary:

;; Request.el is a HTTP request library with multiple backends.  It
;; supports url.el which is shipped with Emacs and curl command line
;; program.  User can use curl when s/he has it, as curl is more reliable
;; than url.el.  Library author can use request.el to avoid imposing
;; external dependencies such as curl to users while giving richer
;; experience for users who have curl.

==================== ========================================================


* Callback functions

Callback functions STATUS, ERROR, COMPLETE and `cdr's in element of
the alist STATUS-CODE take same keyword arguments listed below.  For
forward compatibility, these functions must ignore unused keyword
arguments (i.e., it's better to use `&allow-other-keys' [#]_).::

    (CALLBACK                      ; SUCCESS/ERROR/COMPLETE/STATUS-CODE
     :data          data           ; whatever PARSER function returns, or nil
     :error-thrown  error-thrown   ; (ERROR-SYMBOL . DATA), or nil
     :symbol-status symbol-status  ; success/error/timeout/abort/parse-error
     :response      response       ; request-response object
     ...)

.. [#] `&allow-other-keys' is a special \"markers\" available in macros
   in the CL library for function definition such as `cl-defun' and
   `cl-function'.  Without this marker, you need to specify all arguments
   to be passed.  This becomes problem when request.el adds new arguments
   when calling callback functions.  If you use `&allow-other-keys'
   (or manually ignore other arguments), your code is free from this
   problem.  See info node `(cl) Argument Lists' for more information.

Arguments data, error-thrown, symbol-status can be accessed by
`request-response-data', `request-response-error-thrown',
`request-response-symbol-status' accessors, i.e.::

    (request-response-data RESPONSE)  ; same as data

Response object holds other information which can be accessed by
the following accessors:
`request-response-status-code',
`request-response-url' and
`request-response-settings'

* STATUS-CODE callback

STATUS-CODE is an alist of the following format::

    ((N-1 . CALLBACK-1)
     (N-2 . CALLBACK-2)
     ...)

Here, N-1, N-2,... are integer status codes such as 200.


* FILES

FILES is an alist of the following format::

    ((NAME-1 . FILE-1)
     (NAME-2 . FILE-2)
     ...)

where FILE-N is a list of the form::

    (FILENAME &key PATH BUFFER STRING MIME-TYPE)

FILE-N can also be a string (path to the file) or a buffer object.
In that case, FILENAME is set to the file name or buffer name.

Example FILES argument::

    `((\"passwd\"   . \"/etc/passwd\")                ; filename = passwd
      (\"scratch\"  . ,(get-buffer \"*scratch*\"))    ; filename = *scratch*
      (\"passwd2\"  . (\"password.txt\" :file \"/etc/passwd\"))
      (\"scratch2\" . (\"scratch.txt\"  :buffer ,(get-buffer \"*scratch*\")))
      (\"data\"     . (\"data.csv\"     :data \"1,2,3\\n4,5,6\\n\")))

.. note:: FILES is implemented only for curl backend for now.
   As furl.el_ supports multipart POST, it should be possible to
   support FILES in pure elisp by making furl.el_ another backend.
   Contributions are welcome.

   .. _furl.el: http://code.google.com/p/furl-el/


* PARSER function

PARSER function takes no argument and it is executed in the
buffer with HTTP response body.  The current position in the HTTP
response buffer is at the beginning of the buffer.  As the HTTP
header is stripped off, the cursor is actually at the beginning
of the response body.  So, for example, you can pass `json-read'
to parse JSON object in the buffer.  To fetch whole response as a
string, pass `buffer-string'.

When using `json-read', it is useful to know that the returned
type can be modified by `json-object-type', `json-array-type',
`json-key-type', `json-false' and `json-null'.  See docstring of
each function for what it does.  For example, to convert JSON
objects to plist instead of alist, wrap `json-read' by `lambda'
like this.::

    (request
     \"http://...\"
     :parser (lambda ()
               (let ((json-object-type 'plist))
                 (json-read)))
     ...)

This is analogous to the `dataType' argument of jQuery.ajax_.
Only this function can access to the process buffer, which
is killed immediately after the execution of this function.

* SYNC

Synchronous request is functional, but *please* don't use it
other than testing or debugging.  Emacs users have better things
to do rather than waiting for HTTP request.  If you want a better
way to write callback chains, use `request-deferred'.

If you can't avoid using it (e.g., you are inside of some hook
which must return some value), make sure to set TIMEOUT to
relatively small value.

Due to limitation of `url-retrieve-synchronously', response slots
`request-response-error-thrown', `request-response-history' and
`request-response-url' are unknown (always `nil') when using
synchronous request with `url-retrieve' backend.

* Note

API of `request' is somewhat mixture of jQuery.ajax_ (Javascript)
and requests.request_ (Python).

Redirection handling strategy
-----------------------------

curl follows redirection when --location is given.  However,
all headers are printed when it is used with --include option.
Number of redirects is printed out sexp-based message using
--write-out option (see `request--curl-write-out-template').
This number is used for removing extra headers and parse
location header from the last redirection header.

Sexp at the end of buffer and extra headers for redirects are
removed from the buffer before it is shown to the parser function.

==================== ========================================================
Keyword argument      Explanation
==================== ========================================================
TYPE          (string)   type of request to make: POST/GET/PUT/DELETE
PARAMS         (alist)   set \"?key=val\" part in URL
DATA    (string/alist)   data to be sent to the server
FILES          (alist)   files to be sent to the server (see below)
PARSER        (symbol)   a function that reads current buffer and return data
HEADERS        (alist)   additional headers to send with the request
ENCODING      (symbol)   encoding for request body (utf-8 by default)
SUCCESS     (function)   called on success
ERROR       (function)   called on error
COMPLETE    (function)   called on both success and error
TIMEOUT       (number)   timeout in second
STATUS-CODE    (alist)   map status code (int) to callback
SYNC            (bool)   If `t', wait until request is done.  Default is `nil'.
==================== ========================================================


* Callback functions

Callback functions STATUS, ERROR, COMPLETE and `cdr's in element of
the alist STATUS-CODE take same keyword arguments listed below.  For
forward compatibility, these functions must ignore unused keyword
arguments (i.e., it's better to use `&allow-other-keys' [#]_).::

    (CALLBACK                      ; SUCCESS/ERROR/COMPLETE/STATUS-CODE
     :data          data           ; whatever PARSER function returns, or nil
     :error-thrown  error-thrown   ; (ERROR-SYMBOL . DATA), or nil
     :symbol-status symbol-status  ; success/error/timeout/abort/parse-error
     :response      response       ; request-response object
     ...)

___________________

I mentioned it just because it is already a wrapper around both built
url and curl (the process not libcurl), so it already abstracts
everything needed to profile (I think).

I have used it privately in my code when I wanted to download some html
for text processing.
