Feign
Make writing Java http clients easier
Feign is a Java to HTTP client binder that was built primarily to make writing Java http clients easier. Inspired by previous projects Retrofit, JAXRS-2.0 and WebSocket, Feign was designed to reduce the complexity that is often involved in binding the Denominator uniformly to HTTP APIs, no matter the ReSTfulness. Feign works by processing annotations into a templatized request, to which arguments are applied in a straightforward manner before output. While it may only support text-based APIs, it simplifies system aspects dramatically and makes it much easier to unit test your conversions. Feign makes use of great tools like Jersey and CXF for writing Java clients for ReST or SOAP services. It also lets you write your own code on top of http libraries, and connects your code to http APIs with little overhead. -

Faraday
Simple, but flexible HTTP client library, with support for backends
Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters (such as Net::HTTP) and embraces the concept of Rack middleware when processing the request/response cycle. You probably don't want to use Faraday directly in your project, as it will lack an actual client library to perform requests. Instead, you probably want to have a look at Awesome Faraday for a list of available adapters. The best starting point is the Faraday Website, with its introduction and explanation. This library aims to support and is tested against the currently officially supported Ruby implementations. This means that, even without a major release, we could add or drop support for Ruby versions, following their EOL. Currently that means we support Ruby 2.6+. You can also install the faraday_middleware extension gem to access a collection of useful Faraday middleware. -

Promxy
An aggregating proxy to enable HA prometheus
Promxy is a prometheus proxy that makes many shards of prometheus appear as a single API endpoint to the user. This significantly simplifies operations and use of prometheus at scale (when you have more than one prometheus host). Promxy delivers this unified access endpoint without requiring any sidecars, custom-builds, or other changes to your prometheus infrastructure. Prometheus itself provides no real HA/clustering support. As such the best-practice is to run multiple (e.g N) hosts with the same config. Similarly prometheus has no real built-in query federation, which means that you end up with N sources in grafana which is (1) confusing to grafana users and (2) has no support for aggregation across the sources. Promxy enables an HA prometheus setup by "merging" the data from the duplicate hosts (so if there is a gap in one, promxy will fill with the other). In addition Promxy provides a single datasource for all promql queries. -

RestSharp
Simple REST and HTTP API Client for .NET
RestSharp is probably the most popular HTTP client library for .NET. Featuring automatic serialization and deserialization, request and response type detection, variety of authentications and other useful features, it is being used by hundreds of thousands of projects. RestSharp passed over 32 million downloads on NuGet, with average daily download count of 10,000. It's being used by many popular OSS projects, including Roslyn and Swagger. The main purpose of RestSharp is to make synchronous and asynchronous calls to remote resources over HTTP. As the name suggests, the main audience of RestSharp are developers who use REST APIs. However, RestSharp can call any API over HTTP (but not HTTP/2), as long as you have the resource URI and request parameters that you want to send comply with W3C HTTP standards. RestSharp can take care of serializing the request body to JSON or XML and deserialize the response. It can also form a valid request URI based on different parameter kinds. -

AIOHTTP
Asynchronous HTTP client/server framework for asyncio and Python
Asynchronous HTTP Client/Server for asyncio and Python. AIOHTTP supports both client and server side of HTTP protocol. A long awaited new feature is tracing client request life cycle to figure out when and why client request spends a time waiting for connection establishment, getting server response headers etc. Now it is possible by registering special signal handlers on every request processing stage. The main change is dropping yield from support and using async/await everywhere. Farewell, Python 3.4. You often want to send some sort of data in the URL’s query string. If you were constructing the URL by hand, this data would be given as key/value pairs in the URL after a question mark, e.g. httpbin.org/get?key=val. Requests allows you to provide these arguments as a dict, using the params keyword argument. aiohttp internally performs URL canonicalization before sending request. -

Java API for GitHub
Java API for GitHub
This library defines an object oriented representation of the GitHub API. By "object oriented" we mean there are classes that correspond to the domain model of GitHub (such as GHUser and GHRepository), operations that act on them as defined as methods (such as GHUser.follow()), and those object references are used in favor of using string handle (such as GHUser.isMemberOf(GHOrganization) instead of GHUser.isMemberOf(String)) The library supports both github.com and GitHub Enterprise. Most of the GitHub APIs are covered, although there are some corners that are still not yet implemented. The library allows connecting to GitHub via several different authentication mechanisms. This library defines a common convention so that applications using this library will look at a consistent location. In this convention, the library looks at ~/.github property file. The content of the files depends on the way you want this library to authenticate as shown. -

If you're using a web bundles (webpack, rollup, parcel) you can benefit from using the module build of jimp. Using the module build will allow your bundler to understand your code better and exclude things you aren't using. If you're using webpack you can set process.browser to true and your build of jimp will exclude certain parts, making it load faster. The static Jimp.read method takes the path to a file, URL, dimensions, a Jimp instance or a buffer and returns a Promise. In some cases, you need to pass additional parameters with an image's URL. -

Open Source HTTP Clients Guide
Open source HTTP clients areprograms that enable users to send and receive data over the internet. These clients use Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to communicate with web server applications. The source code of open source HTTP clients is usually available for free, allowing users to customize and modify the program as they like.
Open source HTTP client programs are typically designed to work with multiple protocols, such as FTP, Gopher, Telnet or SSH. This makes them ideal for many different types of applications and environments since they provide a single solution for managing different kinds of network connections. Additionally, open source HTTP clients can often be more secure than commercially-available solutions due to their ability to be tweaked according to individual needs and preferences.
When it comes to performance, most open source HTTP clients feature algorithms that minimize the number of requests sent out by the system in order to improve speed and reliability. Furthermore, most open source products are built with extensibility in mind meaning they offer an array of options which allow developers to customize how their product works or behaves when certain conditions are met – allowing them better control over their own projects' performance as well as security levels since many open sources have publicly visible code.
On top of this, popular open-source HTTP clients come packed with a wide range of features including support for cookies management; caching policies; SSL/TLS support; proxy control; content encoding settings; MIME type detection; character sets handling; parsing & formatting capabilities etc., thus making them suitable for creating powerful web-based applications that efficiently interact with remote servers and data stores over the Internet without having complex custom coding requirements from scratch..
What Features Do Open Source HTTP Clients Provide?
- HTTP Requests: Open source HTTP clients provide support for various types of requests, such as GET, POST, HEAD, PUT and DELETE. In addition to standard requests, some clients also offer support for other custom requests.
- Authentication: Most open source HTTP clients allow authentication using Basic or Digest authentication. This allows user credentials to be sent over a secured connection without revealing the password in plain text.
- Proxy Servers: Open source clients can use proxy servers when making connections. This enables them to access resources from behind a firewall or through an anonymizing network (such as Tor).
- Cookies: Some open source clients are able to save cookies that are received from web servers and re-submit them on subsequent requests. This makes it easier for sites to remember user preferences and settings between visits.
- SSL/TLS Support: Many open source clients include support for secure connections via SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security). This ensures that all data transmitted between the client and server is encrypted, preventing eavesdropping by third parties.
- Data Compression: Most open source HTTP clients have the ability to negotiate data compression with web servers they make connections with. Compression reduces the size of transmitted data which makes downloading files faster and more efficient use of bandwidth.
Types of Open Source HTTP Clients
- cURL: cURL is an open source command-line tool and library for transferring data from or to a server using various protocols, such as HTTP, FTP, IMAP, SMTP, and SCP. It can be used to quickly download web pages or other files from remote servers as well as uploading local files to remote servers.

How Much Do Open Source HTTP Clients Cost?
Open source HTTP clients are completely free, meaning there is no cost associated with them. This is part of what makes open source software so attractive; its free availability for all to use and modify as needed. The only cost associated with an open source HTTP client would be the time and effort spent into setting it up and configuring it properly. Additionally, depending on the open source license that has been applied to the software, you may need to adhere to certain rules when sharing any modifications made to the code or making any derived works. It should also be noted that if you hire a professional developer to assist in installing and configuring the open source client, then you will be responsible for paying their fees as well.
What Do Open Source HTTP Clients Integrate With?
Open source http clients can integrate with a variety of types of software. This includes applications such as web browsers and content management systems, which allow users to view and interact with websites over the internet. Other types of software that can interface with open source http clients include server-side scripting languages like PHP, client-side development frameworks such as AngularJS, and libraries for routing requests and responses between different parts of an application. Additionally, many tools for testing APIs like Selenium or JMeter can be connected to open source http clients in order to perform automated tests on web services. Finally, popular databases such as MySQL and MongoDB often have drivers that are compatible with open source HTTP clients, allowing them to be used together in applications.

Getting Started With Open Source HTTP Clients
Getting started with open source HTTP clients is a great way to access websites and other web-based services. It can also be an easy way to get more familiar with the technologies that power the networked world we live in.
The first step for getting started with open source HTTP clients is to choose one of the many available options. There are numerous popular open source projects that provide different types of HTTP clients, so it’s important to review them and decide which best meets your needs. Popular choices include cURL, Apache HttpClient, Unirest, Requests and Spring RestTemplate. Most of these tools have comprehensive documentation that walks you through the steps needed to install and configure them on your system.
Once you have chosen and installed an appropriate tool, configuring it should be relatively straightforward. Each program may require its own configuration parameters, but most will need basic details such as domain name or IP address of the server as well as port number used for communication between client and server. Additionally some programs may require credentials for secure connection such as username/password combinations or authorization tokens.
The next step is actually making requests from your environment using your favorite programming language or REST API test applications like Postman or SoapUI depending on how exactly you want your request processed - if at all. This usually involves writing code that builds a “request object” containing all necessary information about what type of request you want performed (e.g., GET or POST) plus any data required by the target resource as part of that specific call (e.g., query parameters). If everything is configured correctly this should result in receiving response from the remote resource which is then consumed by our application according to our usage scenario; this could range from simple logging/printing out results all way up to feeding data fetched into machine learning models etc.
Finally there are certain safeguards in place when dealing with sensitive data over public networks like HTTPS encryption; here proper configuration would involve setting protocols such as SSL/TLS appropriately depending on resources accessed being secured by them or not etc… Needless to say most lower level details (such as TLS connection establishment order) can usually be set automatically through frameworks etc, though doing so manually does offer more control should potentially difficult compatibility issues arise between systems involved in communication due variety of versions employed for example within each language's toolset library versions available up until application deployment etc…
That said before trying use open source HTTP clients make sure all possible security precautions were taken care of first since misuse might lead wrongfully expose private & confidential information albeit intentionally or unintentionally.
