Project status
http-kit's author (@shenfeng) unfortunately hasn't had much time to maintain http-kit recently. To help out I'll be doing basic issue triage, accepting minor/obvious PRs, etc.
A big thank you to the current contributors for keeping the project going! Additional contributors welcome: please ping me if you'd be interested in lending a hand.
Hack locally
Hacker friendly: zero dependencies, written from the ground-up with only ~3.5k lines of code (including java), clean and tidy.
# Modify as you want, unit tests back you up:
lein test
# May be useful (more info), see `server_test.clj`:
./scripts/start_test_server
# Some numbers on how fast can http-kit's client can run:
lein test :benchmark
Enabling http-kit client SNI support
Requires JVM >= 8, http-kit >= 2.4.0-alpha6.
Common cause of:javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: Received fatal alert: handshake_failure
To retain backwards-compatibility with JVMs < 8, the http-kit client currently does not have SNI support enabled by default.
This default may be changed in a future breaking release. But in the meantime, manually enabling SNI support is easy:
(:require [org.httpkit.sni-client :as sni-client]) ; Needs Java >= 8
;; Change default client for your whole application:
(alter-var-root #'org.httpkit.client/*default-client* (fn [_] sni-client/default-client))
;; or temporarily change default client for a particular thread context:
(binding [org.httpkit.client/*default-client* sni-client/default-client]
<...>)
See org.httpkit.client/*default-client* docstring for more details.
