http_session 0.2.0-rc.2

This plugin helps you easier to manage the sessions when using http to requests.

Http Session

If you want to login to a web service and keep comunicate with it, you need to save the session and use it for all the requests. This plugin will help you to do that.

Features

Create an instance of http and manage the session.

Usage

Use shared session across the application

final httpSession = HttpSession.shared;
httpSession.debugLog = true;
httpSession.maxRedirects = 5;

Or create a new session instance

final httpSession = HttpSession(
    client: HttpClient(), // Optional
    acceptBadCertificate: false,
    maxRedirects: 5,
    debugLog: true,
);

Please notice that the acceptBadCertificate will override the default value of the client (means client parameter is null). This setting is to decide whether to accept a secure connection with a server certificate that cannot be authenticated by any of the trusted root certificates.

Now you can requests any URI and the plugin will automatically save the session.

final response = await httpSession.post(url, body: data);
final response = await httpSession.get(url);

Clear the current session

httpSession.clear();

Close the current http and also clear the session

httpSession.close();

Get current session cookie header:

final headers = httpSession.headers;
