I want to send an http request to an external API using the Snap framework. Does Snap support it? If not, how to go about it?
Have you looked at using Network.Wreq
?
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy as LAZ
import qualified Data.ByteString.Lazy.Char8 as CHA
makeRequest :: IO (Network.Wreq.Response LAZ.ByteString)
makeRequest = do
res <- get "https://www.example.com"
let resBody = res ^. responseBody :: CHA.ByteString
return (resBody)
Uses simple lens syntax and supports HTTP and HTTPS.
