lhttpc
A lightweight HTTP/1.1 client for Erlang, now deprecated in favor of newer alternatives.
What is lhttpc?
lhttpc is a lightweight HTTP/1.1 client implemented in Erlang for making HTTP requests from Erlang applications. It provides basic HTTP client functionality with support for persistent connections and SSL, though it is now deprecated and no longer actively maintained.
Erlang developers working on legacy projects that still depend on lhttpc, or those maintaining older Erlang applications that require HTTP client functionality.
lhttpc offers a minimal, straightforward HTTP client implementation specifically for Erlang environments, with legacy compatibility for older Erlang versions. However, the project maintainers now recommend switching to more modern alternatives like shotgun or fusco.
