Creating HTTP Requests
This feature allows you to create an HTTP request object with specified method, hostname, and path.
const { HttpRequest } = require('@smithy/protocol-http');
const request = new HttpRequest({
method: 'GET',
hostname: 'example.com',
path: '/path'
});
console.log(request);Handling HTTP Responses
This feature allows you to create an HTTP response object with specified status code, headers, and body.
const { HttpResponse } = require('@smithy/protocol-http');
const response = new HttpResponse({
statusCode: 200,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Success' })
});
console.log(response);Parsing HTTP Headers
This feature allows you to parse raw HTTP headers into a structured object.
const { parseHeaders } = require('@smithy/protocol-http');
const rawHeaders = 'Content-Type: application/json\nContent-Length: 123';
const headers = parseHeaders(rawHeaders);
