RESTinio
HTTP/WebSocket server C++14 library
RESTinio is a header-only C++14 library that gives you an embedded HTTP/WebSocket server. It is based on the standalone version of ASIO and is targeted primarily for the asynchronous processing of HTTP requests. Since v.0.4.1 Boost::ASIO (1.66 or higher) is also supported. Consider the task of writing a C++ application that must support some REST API, RESTinio represents our solution for that task. Server runs on the main thread, and responds to all requests with a hello-world message. Of course, you've got access to the structure of a given HTTP request, so you can apply complex logic for handling requests. Async request handling. Cannot get the response data immediately? That's ok, store the request handle somewhere and/or pass it to another execution context and get back to it when the data is ready. -

Milkman
An extensible request/response workbench
Milkman is heavily inspired by Postman. But I got sick of all those electron-based applications that need ages and loads of memory to start up. Therefore, this is a JavaFx-based workbench for crafting requests/responses. It is not limited to e.g. HTTP (or more specifically rest) requests. Due to nearly everything being a plugin, other things are possible, like database requests or GRPC, GraphQl, etc. Request-types (e.g. Http Request), request-aspects (e.g. Headers, Body, etc), editors for request aspects (e.g. table-based editors for headers), importers, whatever it is, you can extend it. The core application only handles Workspaces with Environments, Collections, Requests, and their aspects. Several plugins are provided already that extend the core application to be a replacement for postman. Crafting and Executing Http/Rest requests with json highlighting. Support Proxy-server configuration and SSE. -

Fast Android Networking
A Complete Fast Android Networking Library that also supports HTTP/2
Fast Android Networking Library is a powerful library for doing any type of networking in Android applications which is made on top of OkHttp Networking Layer. Fast Android Networking Library takes care of each and everything. So you don't have to do anything, just make a request and listen for the response. The recent removal of HttpClient in Android Marshmallow(Android M) made other networking libraries obsolete. No other single library does and everything like making requests, downloading any type of file, uploading file, loading images from the network in ImageView, etc. There are some libraries but they are outdated. No other library provides a simple interface for doing all types of things in networking like setting priority, canceling, etc. As it uses Okio , No more GC overhead in android applications. Okio is made to handle GC overhead while allocating memory. Okio does some clever things to save CPU and memory. -

TinyGSM
A small Arduino library for GSM modules, that just works
A small Arduino library for GSM modules that just works. This library is easy to integrate with lots of sketches that use Ethernet or WiFi. PubSubClient (MQTT), Blynk, HTTP Client, and File Download examples are provided. Arduino GSM library uses 15868 bytes (49%) of Flash and 1113 bytes (54%) of RAM in a similar scenario. TinyGSM also pulls data gently from the modem (whenever possible), so it can operate on very little RAM. Now, you have more space for your experiments. TCP (HTTP, MQTT, Blynk, ...) All modules support TCP connections. Most modules support multiple simultaneous connections. TCP and SSL connections can usually be mixed up to the total number of possible connections. Many GSM modems, WiFi, and radio modules can be controlled by sending AT commands over Serial. TinyGSM knows which commands to send, and how to handle AT responses, and wraps that into the standard Arduino Client interface. -

Typhon
A wrapper around Go's net/http to provide safety and convenience
Typhon is a wrapper around Go's net/http library that we use at Monzo to build RPC servers and clients in our microservices platform. A wrapper around Go's net/http to provide safety and convenience. At Monzo, Typhon forms the basis of most clients and servers in our microservices platform. Forgetting to body.Close() in a client when the body has been dealt with is a common source of resource leaks in Go programs in our experience. Typhon ensures that – unless you're doing something really weird with the body – it will be closed automatically. Marshalling and unmarshalling request bodies to structs is such a common operation that our Request and Response objects support them directly. If the operations fail, the errors are propagated automatically since that's nearly always what a server will want. -

casync
Content-addressable data synchronization tool
A combination of the rsync algorithm and content-addressable storage. An efficient way to store and retrieve multiple related versions of large file systems or directory trees. An efficient way to deliver and update OS, VM, IoT and container images over the Internet in an HTTP and CDN friendly way. Let's take a large linear data stream, split it into variable-sized chunks (the size of each being a function of the chunk's contents), and store these chunks in individual, compressed files in some directory, each file named after a strong hash value of its contents, so that the hash value may be used to as key for retrieving the full chunk data. Let's call this directory a "chunk store". At the same time, generate a "chunk index" file that lists these chunk hash values plus their respective chunk sizes in a simple linear array. The chunking algorithm is supposed to create variable, but similarly sized chunks from the data stream. -

httr
httr: a friendly http package for R
httr is superseded: only changes necessary to keep it on CRAN will be made. We recommend using httr2 instead. The aim of httr is to provide a wrapper for the curl package, customized to the demands of modern web APIs. Functions for the most important http verbs: GET(), HEAD(), PATCH(), PUT(), DELETE() and POST(). Automatic connection sharing across requests to the same website (by default, curl handles are managed automatically), cookies are maintained across requests, and an up-to-date root-level SSL certificate store is used. Requests return a standard reponse object that captures the http status line, headers and body, along with other useful information. Support for OAuth 1.0 and 2.0 with oauth1.0_token() and oauth2.0_token(). The demo directory has eight OAuth demos: four for 1.0 (twitter, vimeo, withings and yahoo) and four for 2.0 (facebook, github, google, linkedin). OAuth credentials are automatically cached within a project. -
21
Guzzle
An extensible PHP HTTP client
Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client that makes it easy to send HTTP requests and trivial to integrate with web services. Simple interface for building query strings, POST requests, streaming large uploads, streaming large downloads, using HTTP cookies, uploading JSON data, etc... Can send both synchronous and asynchronous requests using the same interface. Uses PSR-7 interfaces for requests, responses, and streams. This allows you to utilize other PSR-7 compatible libraries with Guzzle. Abstracts away the underlying HTTP transport, allowing you to write environment and transport agnostic code; i.e., no hard dependency on cURL, PHP streams, sockets, or non-blocking event loops. Middleware system allows you to augment and compose client behavior. -

undici
An HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js
An HTTP/1.1 client, written from scratch for Node.js. This section documents our most commonly used API methods. Additional APIs are documented in their own files within the docs folder and are accessible via the navigation list on the left side of the docs site. Garbage collection in Node is less aggressive and deterministic (due to the lack of clear idle periods that browsers have through the rendering refresh rate) which means that leaving the release of connection resources to the garbage collector can lead to excessive connection usage, reduced performance (due to less connection re-use), and even stalls or deadlocks when running out of connections.
