# Actions Http-Client
[![Http Status](https://github.com/actions/http-client/workflows/http-tests/badge.svg)](https://github.com/actions/http-client/actions)
A lightweight HTTP client optimized for use with actions, TypeScript with generics and async await.
## Features
- HTTP client with TypeScript generics and async/await/Promises
- Typings included so no need to acquire separately (great for intellisense and no versioning drift)
- [Proxy support](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/about-self-hosted-runners#using-a-proxy-server-with-self-hosted-runners) just works with actions and the runner
- Targets ES2019 (runner runs actions with node 12+). Only supported on node 12+.
- Basic, Bearer and PAT Support out of the box. Extensible handlers for others.
- Redirects supported
Features and releases [here](./RELEASES.md)
## Install
```
npm install @actions/http-client --save
```
## Samples
See the [HTTP](./__tests__) tests for detailed examples.
## Errors
### HTTP
The HTTP client does not throw unless truly exceptional.
* A request that successfully executes resulting in a 404, 500 etc... will return a response object with a status code and a body.
* Redirects (3xx) will be followed by default.
See [HTTP tests](./__tests__) for detailed examples.
## Debugging
To enable detailed console logging of all HTTP requests and responses, set the NODE_DEBUG environment varible:
```
export NODE_DEBUG=http
```
## Node support
The http-client is built using the latest LTS version of Node 12. It may work on previous node LTS versions but it's tested and officially supported on Node12+.
## Support and Versioning
We follow semver and will hold compatibility between major versions and increment the minor version with new features and capabilities (while holding compat).
