read function

Future<String> read(
  1. Uri url, {
  2. Map<String, String>? headers,
})

Sends an HTTP GET request with the given headers to the given URL and returns a Future that completes to the body of the response as a String.

The Future will emit a ClientException if the response doesn't have a success status code.

This automatically initializes a new Client and closes that client once the request is complete. If you're planning on making multiple requests to the same server, you should use a single Client for all of those requests.

For more fine-grained control over the request and response, use Request instead.

Implementation

Future<String> read(Uri url, {Map<String, String>? headers}) =>
    _withClient((client) => client.read(url, headers: headers));
