http_interop_dio 0.3.0

Send http_interop requests through Dio with streamed request and response bodies, while honoring Dio's client configuration and interceptors.

dart-http-interop-dio

Dio http_interop adapter.

Import the extension to send an interop request through a Dio client:

import 'dart:convert';

import 'package:dio/dio.dart' as dio;
import 'package:http_interop/extensions.dart';
import 'package:http_interop/http_interop.dart';
import 'package:http_interop_dio/http_interop_dio.dart';

Future<void> main() async {
  final client = dio.Dio();
  try {
    final response = await client.requestInterop(Request(
      'GET',
      Uri.parse('https://example.com/'),
      Body.empty(),
      Headers(),
    ));
    print(response.statusCode);
    print(await response.body.decode(utf8));
  } finally {
    client.close();
  }
}

requestInterop uses Dio's configured headers, timeouts, redirect policy, status validation, and interceptors. Headers on the interop request override matching client defaults. Empty header lists are omitted from these overrides, so they do not remove a configured default header. Empty string values are retained.

Request and response bodies use byte streams. The extension does not buffer the bodies; helpers such as decode consume the response stream. Consume or cancel the response body, and close the client when finished. A retry needs a fresh request body unless the original stream supports replay.

Dio's default status validation rejects non-2xx responses with a DioException. To receive all HTTP statuses as interop responses, configure the client before sending requests:

client.options.validateStatus = (_) => true;

Transport failures still throw. Failures during response body consumption are reported through the body stream.

Two current limitations apply:

• Dio uppercases method names, including custom methods whose casing may matter.
• The default IO adapter can decompress gzip responses while retaining the original Content-Encoding and Content-Length headers. These headers may not describe the returned bytes. Account for this when forwarding responses or decoding their content.
