Ruby HTTP Clients Comparison

Hiroshi Nakamura • November 01, 2012 • Denver, Colorado • Talk

In this talk, Hiroshi Nakamura presents a detailed comparison of various HTTP clients available for Ruby programming. Based on an updated matrix he created, which outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each library, he emphasizes the need for developers to select the most appropriate HTTP client based on specific requirements.

Key Points Discussed:
- Introduction to net/http: The simplicity of the Ruby's built-in net/http library has led to the development of several derivative HTTP clients.
- Matrix of HTTP Clients: Nakamura introduces a matrix that compares 16 HTTP libraries in Ruby, categorized into groups based on implementation style, and highlights the need for choosing a client that suits specific use cases
- Implementation Groups:
- Original Implementations: Includes net/http and pure Ruby versions like HTTPClient.
- Event Machine-based: Libraries like em-http-request utilize asynchronous processing.
- Adaptable Implementations: Features libraries like Faraday, which allow backend engine selection.
- Performance Comparisons: The talk includes performance benchmarks, demonstrating efficiencies in clients that support keep-alive connections.
- API Styles: Variations in API styles (synchronous, asynchronous, and parallel) across libraries are discussed, detailing how developers can interact with these APIs.
- Security and SSL: Nakamura warns about SSL verification issues and recommends libraries that manage SSL connections better.
- Special Features and Capabilities: He examines various features such as support for cookies, HTTP methods, error handling, and file uploads that determine the usability of each library.
- Conclusion and Recommendations: Finally, Nakamura shares his recommendations based on performance and usability, suggesting the best libraries for speed, API work, and SSL connections, while advising developers to review the matrix for nuanced evaluations.

Overall, this talk provides valuable insights into Ruby HTTP clients, illustrating the importance of selecting the right library based on specific programming needs and the functionality of each client.

The simplicity of the Ruby bundled library net/http has produced number of derivation / substitution HTTP clients for Ruby. I, who is an author of a HTTP client, performed surveys of those HTTP clients in last several years. One unsurprising thing I found from it is that users can pick one-gem-for-all generic HTTP client and also can pick the best one for the specified purpose.

In this talk, based on update to the advantages-and-disadvantages comparison of HTTP clients at http://bit.ly/RubyHTTPClients, I'll introduce characteristics of HTTP clients for different purposes.

RubyConf 2012

00:00:14.360 so my name is he or she Nakamura and my
00:00:19.410 name is nahi at twitter and github and i'm working at a burial and doing
00:00:26.099 she'll be and Jerry development at my off time and i'm a member as excel dot
00:00:32.940 i'll be we having a week limited and so
00:00:39.780 when you came to when you come to Tokyo Japan please join us you can contact
00:00:46.250 form here today I'll introduce the matrix i created the that shows the
00:00:54.930 advantages and disadvantages of comparison of rubies HTTP client
00:01:00.629 libraries you can see the whole matrix from this URL and please take care to
00:01:10.229 refer this matrix because i'm the author one of those HTTP client it should be
00:01:19.259 client this is agenda at first i'll
00:01:25.409 provide a brief introduction to net HTTP internal and i show 16 Ruby HTTP client
00:01:35.970 libraries I picked and explain the matrix in detail APA style compatibility
00:01:42.990 and supported features and I also provide a performance comparisons and at
00:01:50.340 the last i'll show you my recommendations of loopy HTTP client for
00:01:55.530 purposes this is the class diagram of
00:02:01.229 net HTTP it has HTTP class that
00:02:07.380 represents the common Shin to a server and it has HTTP
00:02:12.690 requests that representing requests and HTTP response for the response to there
00:02:20.850 are lots of derived classes of request and response but these three classes
00:02:30.620 implements the all of net HTTP features
00:02:36.080 do you know what next HTTP proxies it
00:02:41.340 was a class but it now the method that
00:02:48.030 returns the crafted HTTP object that utilizes the proxy connection and it
00:02:55.830 also has net HTTPS lively but all that all it does is require net HTTP and
00:03:04.010 require openssl it's it locates only for
00:03:09.930 backward compatibility now and this simplicity of class and complexity of
00:03:17.790 the implementation causes is the root cause of why developers want to write
00:03:25.950 their own Ruby HTTP client libraries I guess he's 16 it should be great liar
00:03:35.820 libraries I picked their has four groups the first group of green is original
00:03:43.440 implementation it's a nap HTTP is a standard library as I said and II XCOM
00:03:50.280 and HTTP client are the pure ruby implementation an e/m HTTP request is a
00:03:57.030 event machine-based original implementation the second group is HTTP
00:04:03.600 whoppers opening a lie is also a standard library of ruby and HDD party
00:04:11.459 machen eyes roofs burbs west crying and west free a serving is she ull robbers
00:04:21.650 does she you are B and pattern and the
00:04:26.750 last one of leg is adaptable implementation that offers developers to
00:04:36.620 choose the back end HTTP engine and it
00:04:43.270 there are rest and weary and the Faraday and HTTP I sorry there are many HTTP
00:04:56.990 client libraries I didn't evaluate and these are the edge of the client
00:05:04.699 libraries I cannot evaluate because active resource of the reigns is raised
00:05:10.490 to raise specific and HTTP is under development and HTTP requests dot our
00:05:17.360 way it's test doesn't pass and also net nestful has noticed and typhus is one of
00:05:26.900 GU our beloved and it's under heavy writing now so I cannot evaluate this
00:05:35.050 HTTP client and these are I didn't
00:05:40.909 evaluate because these live geez Jen's
00:05:46.330 and updated recently so I think those libraries are obsolete evaluating access
00:05:57.940 project starts and APA style compatibility supported features
00:06:03.949 connection features basic HTTP features and the song and i created a test unit
00:06:11.240 script for the so checking these supported features so you can if you
00:06:16.880 want you can try the test from this URL and this script shows you how you can
00:06:26.000 use the specific feature like
00:06:32.700 pausing March platform and their skills and proxy authentication you can see
00:06:39.150 these tests at the example first I start
00:06:46.140 from project starts these is these 16
00:06:52.640 libraries I evaluated and here is a maintainer and are there anyone in this
00:07:02.700 room I think yeah eric is okay and and I
00:07:09.510 am the author of HTTP client and eric is the maintainer of merchandise and we
00:07:19.920 restate the risk client and rest a are
00:07:24.960 not updated this year two thousand from 2011 so you may need to find latest
00:07:34.760 development folk from github if you want to use these libraries and these starts
00:07:43.200 at get heaven rubygems there are four libraries HD party mechanized respond
00:07:49.740 and fall day those has thousand of get hipsters and hundreds of github folks
00:07:57.270 and millions of downloads next is APA
00:08:04.950 style I summarize the APA style to synchronous and asynchronous and
00:08:12.210 parallel and all of HTTP client libraries had synchronous API I've
00:08:20.250 introduced the all of the APA style and fast it's the synchronous a period such
00:08:26.970 you toys the client instance with these
00:08:33.320 gems developer need to instantiate the client from the provided class and
00:08:43.470 developer can issue the HTTP request from the created instance the next one
00:08:51.780 is client class with this client with these libraries user developer in user
00:09:01.980 issues HTTP request form as the class method but in the inside the class
00:09:10.560 methods instances the internal client instance so there's nothing different
00:09:17.520 from the previous APA style the sunrise whistles with these APR libraries
00:09:27.740 developer instances the results with URL
00:09:32.910 then developer can issue request and the
00:09:38.970 instant method of the created resource without passing the whole URL every time
00:09:46.430 the fourth line is include with these libraries developer can create their own
00:09:56.060 customized HTTP client class like this and use use the utility methods and
00:10:07.470 features from inside of the customized class the last one others opening ally
00:10:15.990 offers like this API and rest is addressing a little bit funny API like
00:10:27.060 this it starts with the ull towing and combative to you li Xing user can issue
00:10:35.580 the HTTP requests at the instance method
00:10:41.460 of the ula object next is a synchronous one the post- call back in HTTP request
00:10:52.100 with HTTP request instances the request but the rig is not
00:10:59.450 issued at this time and developer define the callback for successful lick west
00:11:06.320 and Iran us requests then event machines main slit issues the HTTP requests and
00:11:16.460 when we get finished it involves the either of this callback so developer
00:11:23.120 needs to implement their logics with
00:11:31.280 this callback style the next one is polling with this API client library
00:11:40.670 offers a synchronous API it this is a sample form HTTP client it developer
00:11:49.730 issues this a synchronous APR instead of synchronous one and it returns the
00:11:54.890 connection object developer can poll it's the it requests that it requests
00:12:04.790 finished or not and when a connection is finished developer can with the response
00:12:12.770 from the connection object those lines parallel API govt has imperil API that
00:12:23.800 issues the request all of the requests in simultaneously there are mulk object
00:12:33.350 and developer can add the HTV request to
00:12:38.540 multiple of multi object and the requests are issued at this perform
00:12:47.090 method invocation so the some libraries
00:12:56.510 has a synchronous API and govt has imperil API for mulch leading almost all
00:13:05.380 support multi threading so developer don't need to care about the
00:13:11.210 sweat but net net HTTP and pedal need
00:13:17.080 developer to instantly the object padlet so you need to care this most rate
00:13:24.200 environment there are hundred almost always exceptions wing error happens but
00:13:31.450 with for recipe developer can configure
00:13:36.830 to return error object in Saddam rising exception e m HTTP request requires the
00:13:46.130 rapper back as I shown you before the
00:13:51.440 next is compatibility all of the
00:13:57.890 libraries runs fine on Shelby of course and except she ull extension Lance fine
00:14:08.180 on JRuby as well jerry has C X support
00:14:14.500 experimental CX support but I mark this no because I think it's experimental and
00:14:22.880 I guess it won't be exit from experimental status so if you want to
00:14:31.430 use your application as well as Shelby
00:14:36.830 you should use other HTTP client and for
00:14:42.890 Rubinius patron fails running my test
00:14:47.960 but I think it should work and it should be fixed easily I think there's
00:14:54.500 something bugging patron lower revenues the load connection features in HDD be
00:15:06.200 there are three connection types I explain it first first one is no
00:15:13.490 keepalive collection no with notable connexion client and server create the
00:15:20.030 socket for each HTTP requests and with people I'm
00:15:26.660 collection client and server can use the same connection for multiple requests so
00:15:37.279 it's a little bit officiant for naughty not needed needing socket creation and
00:15:45.589 circuit destruction and for pipelining client don't need to wait the response
00:15:54.589 comes before issuing the next week left and as you see this it's very efficient
00:16:02.710 in contrast to keep alive connections but i think this pipelining processing
00:16:11.900 is difficult so and many web service
00:16:21.230 like apache doesn't support this pipelining request so when you want to
00:16:28.250 use pipelining from you it should be client you should take care if the
00:16:35.150 server supports pipelining or not so and
00:16:40.459 the keepalive is supported on me channels and IM HTTP requests it should
00:16:45.709 be client she will be paid long and fall day and pipelining is supported on en
00:16:52.070 HTTP requests and she will be I show you the keep alive in HTTP requests for for
00:17:03.560 keep a love connection you need to wait the fast response cams before sending
00:17:08.809 the second request so the second request must issued from the first goal box
00:17:14.000 serve the request from second callback so you need to write this kind of cold
00:17:21.020 so I think you don't want to use it in contrast street yeah well pipelining is
00:17:27.589 fine yeah in pipelining client don't need to
00:17:34.890 lay the next request issuing so the client can issue like this and when the
00:17:42.720 era happened just handle the era add here so I think it's feasible I mean
00:17:51.770 keep alive in EMH DDP request is not feasible for general development next is
00:18:01.290 SSL I need water this red cell is means
00:18:12.350 there's no verification by default you
00:18:20.580 know yes no verification by default this is excerpted from a client library it
00:18:30.560 said if the if it trying to connect the
00:18:36.780 ssl server it sets verification module now that doesn't do verification and if
00:18:43.650 options are set it turns on verify pier to do bella fication so the developer
00:18:53.790 can configure to do ssl verification for these libraries but if developer makes a
00:19:02.190 bug about options handling and the options is cleared this it should be
00:19:10.230 lively set verified nine and ten and connect to the ssl server and send users
00:19:19.290 data and secret thing without warning it it's not what assessor is expected if
00:19:27.770 excessive verification is not done and development to verify it should stop
00:19:34.830 sending data so when you want to connect
00:19:40.380 to the server you should use major nice or HTTP client
00:19:45.740 that supports certification relocation to and govt or west and HTTP I proxy
00:19:58.330 almost all supposed proxy and proxy education and basic authentication to
00:20:05.420 the server and some supports digest authentication and windows ntlm
00:20:11.390 authentication to http Fiji's almost all
00:20:21.140 supports get post to delete and open you Ally doesn't support person put delete
00:20:29.420 because it just for downloading a file and some lively supports custom HTTP
00:20:38.000 method like purge it's not good thing but some API server requires you send
00:20:46.630 the this kind of not non standard HTTP
00:20:52.100 request so if you connecting to such kind of service you should use this kind
00:20:59.390 of HTTP libraries ili I Eliza
00:21:05.260 internationalized resource identifier that includes the mulch bite in URL
00:21:13.510 unfortunately you are like are we dating support I are I and addressable gem
00:21:20.840 suppose I are I but also unfortunately addressable you li it's not aim to be a
00:21:30.080 drop in replacement of URL that RV so
00:21:36.179 it should be client library developers need some code to support addressable
00:21:41.759 you are line it's not difficult so you can ask these lively developers do
00:21:49.980 support addressable you Ally response head is sheer we returns response
00:21:58.169 headers in a single swing so if you want to extract the information from HTTP
00:22:06.210 headers you need to pass by yourself and
00:22:11.690 cookie major eyes and HTTP client
00:22:17.009 supports cookie but HTTP client has flow side cooking bug STD client it's this
00:22:25.740 cookie 4.com sigh and send it to all.com
00:22:31.919 side it's not expected because it can cause a security vulnerability like
00:22:39.480 session fixation so and the blotters need to handle this kind of domain and
00:22:46.850 what kind of domain name can store
00:22:51.869 cookie and send a cookie so if you need
00:22:57.499 this cookie hundred properly you should
00:23:02.509 you must use meta nice may generate hundreds these cookies properly like
00:23:09.749 blouses redirect HTTP server could
00:23:17.879 return with direct response that's to inform clients to follow the redirection
00:23:25.230 and many client library suppose the redirection following but some atypical
00:23:33.330 I'm library doesn't have a redirect limit so if the server returned the same
00:23:42.450 will be direction again and again it calls an infinite oh and clashes your Ruby interpreter you
00:23:49.539 you should take care of the distal redirection limit if you going to use
00:23:56.799 this client libraries form URL encoded is with these supported libraries you
00:24:06.100 can pass and clearly HTTP query and the
00:24:11.740 post forum in a hash over our way with that this feature you need to
00:24:18.909 concatenate the parameters with ampersand and equal by yourself sorry
00:24:27.299 Marge bedpost this library supports multi part file post forum posting and
00:24:37.559 streaming upload and download this is a
00:24:43.960 simple form the patterns patron and pattern has a parameter file to specify
00:24:51.639 the file to upload to the server and pattern read the file in shank and send
00:25:00.490 it to the server and the next read the next chunk from file without consuming
00:25:08.860 all of without reading all of the file and consume lots of memories and also
00:25:17.110 for download the sorry butter has get
00:25:23.409 file method and pass the right parameters to write our file into the
00:25:31.240 specified height and without reading all of the response in memory if EMH will be
00:25:38.769 request also had such method and for
00:25:44.919 chance to download em HTTP requests offers a stream Kovac that he lived
00:25:52.619 every chunk read from the server
00:25:59.430 compression a lot of HTTP client library supports compression and decompression
00:26:06.310 and and also for response to set some
00:26:11.680 library set the response encoding of response is doing according to the HTTP
00:26:20.710 response header content type and chatted so you don't need to set you're either
00:26:27.370 need to set you don't need to combat encoding by yourself developments about
00:26:39.960 a response serving is stabbing or
00:26:47.140 response it's the sample from HTTP client it has the rock back response
00:26:52.690 method and can cash the HTTP response body and when you invoke the next week
00:27:01.630 lyst the this string returned from the
00:27:09.640 method without accessing the actual service and HCD client also has an HTTP
00:27:17.230 message stabbing and this is a example
00:27:23.410 for redirecting from to reacting to another URL and the response normal less
00:27:31.600 loss and when this method is invoked this follows this route redirect and get
00:27:38.350 this HTTP response and without accessing
00:27:44.950 this survey some level we have the similar feature and it helps to debug or
00:27:53.530 chest your client but I I'll show I
00:28:00.640 introduced later but you can use the web mock gem for those not supporting
00:28:07.470 libraries so it you may not take care of this line we by
00:28:17.050 using web mock jam are introduced it later some library has wild dump the
00:28:23.890 bark feature it allows you to jump the actual HTTP request string and respond
00:28:31.660 string to writing to the file and it helps debugging such as HTTP server
00:28:40.390 seems to return and blocking response or wrong HTTP response ahead a it helps you
00:28:50.170 to debug such kind of blocking responses
00:28:55.510 i alway like shell Sam has this feature I think I think risk client is the first
00:29:04.410 client that offers this video and with these libraries you can embark the aisle
00:29:12.520 we like shell and in bulk the methods inside form it and you can of course use
00:29:20.920 I rvs history editing feature West
00:29:26.620 client also has an interesting and useful feature and zip replayable log if
00:29:36.370 you set this environment variable and call West gradient methods it danced to
00:29:46.690 the file in the format of the ruby program so you can take this code to
00:29:56.950 your program and after
00:30:03.520 trying to connect to the server like this it's a nice feature I want to
00:30:11.210 implement for it should be client client soon the last advanced features some
00:30:22.040 libraries has request and response that folks the request just before
00:30:30.020 sending to the server and just after
00:30:35.500 receiving response and before the passing good response it's useful for
00:30:43.210 setting head like Oh authentication header or tweaking the HTTP response
00:30:51.910 from the server fixing the chassid
00:30:58.820 header or something and some level it has JSON and XML combat feature it
00:31:08.620 converts the hash over array into JSON or XML before sending and converts it
00:31:18.020 back to hash object from the response JSON or XML payload response guessing is
00:31:27.790 mechanized and risk-free ross verbs and West the features it caches the service
00:31:36.680 response of course in proper manner and each mechanized sent and the server the
00:31:47.150 request if check if the resource is updated or not for if the resource is
00:31:56.240 already downloaded and it it's a very efficient for network bandwidth usage
00:32:06.190 but it's very nice for Plaza like client
00:32:11.600 but I mark this yellow is the reason why I'm mark the yellow is for a ps2 API client it
00:32:21.710 might cause some problem because API server may not want to get if modified
00:32:32.060 since or update check request so for API client you should be care because this
00:32:41.030 feature is enabled by default for major nice is it right Eric yeah for HTML form
00:32:49.010 handling and a mechanized it's shiny methods shiny features of HT so Mitch a
00:32:57.260 nice it allows to get the login form and
00:33:02.620 login page and get login form from it set the email and password and send a
00:33:09.920 proper URL to send the form so its belly
00:33:15.170 useful for testing your web applications
00:33:21.670 testing client as I said before when locks suppose the level 8 web mock is
00:33:29.120 the library for stabbing and setting expectations on HTTP request so and
00:33:35.120 weblog supports the all of the library i reset 16 all libraries so you can use
00:33:42.290 web mock even if the HTTP client library has such peaches and visio is for
00:33:50.270 recording your texts HTTP interactions and we will play then during future
00:33:55.730 tests with help from web mark so these
00:34:01.840 libraries would be a mass for you to develop your HTTP client performance
00:34:12.440 comparisons this is my environment for
00:34:18.919 evaluation and Saba is at West Coast open to and apache 2.2 new client is on
00:34:26.540 east coast and i used we won by CC and i did a multiple
00:34:33.329 downloads of gendered bite and twenty four megabytes but please don't take it
00:34:40.980 serious because it's not comprehensive benchmark so if you want to use evaluate
00:34:49.980 by yourself you can grab my benchmark scripts from here this is multiple 205
00:34:59.309 downloads please see the blue one first the blue one is 30 times download by one
00:35:07.470 sled there's a sling loops the one is
00:35:12.989 and doesn't support keep a live connection the second supports keep
00:35:19.259 alive connection and this sad yes the
00:35:24.749 soul they keep wing the library support keep out of the connection it's really efficient for small file downloads as
00:35:32.369 you see and the cell phone is Ian HTTP request and she'll be multi and because
00:35:40.140 the other libraries and issue this Harry time and savvy HDD request one by one
00:35:49.230 but M HTTP requests and she'll be multi issues the city request at once so it's
00:35:57.210 very fast as you see and the next is red one is with templates and five times
00:36:06.420 download for each thread it's almost the same trend but sled is efficient for all
00:36:19.019 HTTP libraries except EMA cbus and she'll be as I explained those H those
00:36:27.779 libraries issued request at once saw sled doesn't affect doesn't have any
00:36:34.249 effect the next one is comparison of
00:36:41.339 Ruby implementations the blue line is the one I explained in the previous page
00:36:48.779 and read is a Jerry 1.7 point zero and yellow is rubenesque 2.2 2 point 0 point
00:36:57.960 0 def you can see almost the same trend
00:37:04.289 for sherry and Jerry and Rubinius bed for some libraries Resta free and weary
00:37:14.450 Jerry and grooviness runs much slower than others and done silvie and others
00:37:21.869 so I think there's something blow them in a hostage era bien Rubinius about are
00:37:31.079 you handling but i'm not sure and i'm the most interesting things is a bent
00:37:40.049 machine-based p.m. HTTP request Sylvie is fast but for govt and Rubinius it's
00:37:46.769 not first as you see like it's almost the same as HTTP client and machen eyes
00:37:53.719 for veneers and I'm I also think there's
00:37:59.819 something problem in JRuby and Rubinius of handling event machine and as you see
00:38:08.940 even Percy is not updated frequently so it may take some time to fix this
00:38:16.200 problem the last laugh is multiple 24
00:38:24.420 megabyte downloads the blue one is the three times like three times download by
00:38:32.519 one slit and your see almost the same
00:38:38.339 trend for non keep-alive HDD client and keep alive supported HTTP client and for
00:38:48.930 the 24 megabyte downloads mhd blue quest and she'll be marching is not
00:38:54.789 so frustrating others so i think this
00:39:00.929 it's almost the network slow boot issue
00:39:07.650 so keepalive support it HTTP grants can
00:39:13.059 run faster as fast as I am HTTP requests and she will be merciful big date
00:39:20.589 download and the next one is the red bits leaflet and one time download for
00:39:29.229 each as you know this that's almost you
00:39:34.869 you cannot see notable differences of longer without so as I said before it's
00:39:43.809 almost done network slow boot that affect this download time it's a last
00:39:53.410 slide no I talk I'm its forces and practice my recommendations if speed is
00:40:00.640 the king you should use en HTTP request and she will be with multi API if but
00:40:09.640 but but if you are going to download the big file you can use other HTTP client
00:40:17.529 arrival is to avoid to fight with complex API of these HTTP client
00:40:25.269 libraries for HTML operation and cookies you should use major nice and for API
00:40:34.059 client you should use you can use holiday and other adapter based
00:40:40.439 implementations but if you want to connect to ssl server you need to care
00:40:49.559 ssl server verification issue i explained in this slot in this talk and
00:40:55.589 for ssl and barriers connectivity you
00:41:01.299 can check HTTP client first you don't know what server you are going
00:41:09.630 to connect at the development sign you can choose HTTP client for barriers
00:41:15.990 collection features please check the matrix before yeah anyway please check
00:41:22.890 the matrix before you use the libraries and please let me know when you find
00:41:28.410 incorrect cells in it thank you
00:41:43.969 we have four we have four meets west and
00:41:49.169 I can any question I once create created
00:42:02.519 this matrix one and a half years ago for
00:42:10.140 Japanese conference it took three masses and this time I just updated the matrix
00:42:18.449 and remove some it should be client add some it should be client I think almost
00:42:26.839 four week you're welcome yeah hi you
00:42:36.599 recommended which libraries user based on what you learn when you also make any
00:42:43.709 recommendations to developing with libraries exist we're developing a new
00:42:49.259 library would you say that if you should have done this differently this feature is missing this aight guys not good so
00:42:59.130 sorry i didn't understand please say so based on you recommend in which library
00:43:04.919 yes when you make recommendations to the design authors recommendations for the
00:43:14.249 authors yeah the features i right i
00:43:25.409 wrote in this slice something difficult
00:43:34.799 to implement because lots of service implement specs improperly so you need
00:43:45.149 to take care the non standard HTTP response and but I
00:43:55.039 even though you want to write HD declined by yourself you can first
00:44:04.579 define the API because I think you
00:44:16.049 should yeah I'm going to provide some recommendation for hcv client developer
00:44:24.439 osas because there's a lot of HTTP
00:44:33.089 client and the oh there's some has the
00:44:41.099 same API that offers the client instance and get method with how you can specify
00:44:50.369 the query and how you specify the file how do you specify the body and and the
00:44:58.079 web mock gem depends on such interface so i think you should define the API
00:45:08.189 according to the existing one and try to implement your internal implementation
00:45:14.849 by yourself is it oh we recommendations
00:45:25.249 for improvement sample implementation phone HTTP developers ah sorry answer
00:45:39.259 what will your vampire you do for example and the core library or should we scrap it we return it and
00:45:48.530 putting something else yeah the question is how should a good library degraded
00:45:58.120 possible into the API of anything easy to use may be easy to keep the standards
00:46:03.530 what features should have happened what Wendy learned was missing
00:46:18.240 for the Christian is what i learned from
00:46:24.590 various HD quality eyes APA styles it is
00:46:31.170 it yeah I found some not easier to use
00:46:46.619 interface but what I found
00:47:02.770 sorry but all I found is it's not good for it's not good for easy to use but
00:47:14.560 and I just found it's not easy to use like this by including the class method
00:47:24.610 instead of instance method so we I think
00:47:31.320 developers should care not the API itself but if it supports the sledding
00:47:40.000 or passing parameters to how developer
00:47:45.730 cim past diploma ters to the client instance that that's what I found from
00:47:53.380 the learning of the various API client
00:47:59.220 oh thank you
00:48:38.400 you
