pool - An HTTP Client with autonomous connection pooling and rate limiting

GoDoc Go Report Card Build Status


pool wraps a standard *http.Client to add the ability to put a maximum number of connections in the pool for the client and the requests-per-second it can perform requests at.

It 'overloads' the http.Client.Do(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error) method to implement the extended functionality. By doing so, existing codebases do not need to heavily re-factor how they already do their logic to see the effect of the more finely-tuned client.

Functions that take in a pool.Client allow for the ability to take in either a *pool.PClient or an *http.Client (since they both implement Do(req *http.Request) (*http.Response, error)). The function must operate on the argument's Do method since it will satisfy the interface for all types passed into it. See doPoolTest(client Client) error in pool_test.go for an example.

Installation


go get -u github.com/ewohltman/pool

Usage


// Some other examples are in pool_test.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"net/http"
	"net/url"
	"os"

	"github.com/ewohltman/pool"
)

func main() {
    standardLibClient := &http.Client{}
    
    pooledClient := pool.NewPClient(standardLibClient, 25, 200)
    
    urlString := "https://yourFavoriteWebsite.com/"
    
    reqURL, err := url.Parse(urlString)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("[ERROR] Unable to parse: %s", urlString)
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    
    resp, err := pooledClient.Do(&http.Request{URL: reqURL})
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("[ERROR] Unable to perform request: %s", err)
        os.Exit(2)
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()
    
    _, err = ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("[ERROR] Unable to read response body: %s", err)
        os.Exit(3)
    }
}
