Hi everybody.
I would like to get some feedback on set of libraries that I wrote. Together they are pluggable, middleware-based HTTP client. Main idea is to replicate pattern from widely used for server implementation. We all know (and love) http.Handlerinterface, which is a base for bunch of libraries to extend on. I have also defined Handler interface, but one that receives context.Context and *http.Request and returns *http.Response and error. That is the base of the idea. Middlewares simply accept Handler and return other Handler. With some utility stuff (like easy way for chaining middlewares, simplified interface for writing of middlewares that only modify request or only read response), that is full description of cliware <https://github.com/delicb/cliware> library. (Name comes from CLIent middleWARE) Based on cliware, I have written couple of (in my opinion) useful middlewares. They are grouped in couple packages in single repository <https://github.com/delicb/cliware-middlewares>. There is support for authentication, path, cookie and query parameters manipulation, request and response body managing, retry... On top of all that, as a glue and for nicer interface, I have written simple http client. It is called GWC <https://github.com/delicb/gwc> (Go Web Client). Main idea is to define reusable middlewares that can be applied to client (it will be applied to all requests), group (it will be applied to all requests that are part of same group) or request (only applied to single request). This should make writing clients for large APIs easier and should remove a lot of boilerplate code. For full disclosure, I got an idea (and some middlewares implementation) from excellent h2non/gentleman <https://github.com/h2non/gentleman> package. I was missing context support (gentleman has context, but it is not context.Context from standard library) and I had different idea how middlewares and composing should be done. I would really like to get some feedback, either on design, API, implementation, anything really.
