About

This is an http.RoundTripper (http://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#RoundTripper) that doesn't bother with connection pooling, proxies, custom TLS configs, etc. It adds reasonably strict read and request timeouts. It's intended to be used for applications with high request volumes and long uptimes. It uses significantly less resources than http.Transport in these applications.

Installing

Using go get

$ go get github.com/pkulak/simpletransport/simpletransport

Example

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/pkulak/simpletransport/simpletransport"
    "io/ioutil"
    "net/http"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    client := &http.Client{
        Transport: &simpletransport.SimpleTransport{
            ReadTimeout:    10 * time.Second,
            RequestTimeout: 15 * time.Second,
        },
    }

    resp, _ := client.Get("http://jsonip.com")
    body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    resp.Body.Close()
    fmt.Println(string(body))
}
