Alternative HTTP protocol library for Dart.
hypertext #
Alternative HTTP protocol library for Dart. The main difference here
is that the developer gets a lot more freedom than with the
dart:io
implementation.
HTTP/2 support will come in the future.
Much of this library will work cross-platform, save for the Server
class, as
it depends on the dart:io
ServerSocket
class.
Why? #
This package only exists for the case in which the current dart:io
HTTP server API's are removed, say in Dart 2.0.0.
I doubt this will ever happen, but if it does, frameworks like Angel, won't suddenly explode.
Also, hypertext
is really useful for, say, writing a proxy,
because requests and responses can instantly be exported toHttp()
.
Writing reverse proxies with Dart for me has been cumbersome so far.
Missing Features #
- Cookies
- WebSockets (although that would likely be another package, which would
connect to
web_socket_channel
)
The following are deliberately left out:
- Sessions
