Installation
npm install tcurl
Examples
Thrift
For the purposes of these examples, let's assume that you have a TChannel
server listening on localhost:1234
. The server registers handlers for the
thrift interface saved as services/chamber.thrift
and defined as:
struct EchoRequest {
1: required string input;
}
service Chamber {
string echo(
1: required EchoRequest request;
)
}
You could use TCurl to query this service by running:
tcurl -p localhost:1234 chamber Chamber::echo -t ./services -3 '{"request": {"input": "foo"}}'
localhost
caveat
For TChannel and Hyperbahn to work together effectively, most tchannel services need to listen on the
external IP of the host they are running on.
This means when you use 127.0.0.1
you cannot reach the service with tcurl as it's not listening on
loopback.
To make supporting external IPs easier we've made localhost
resolve to the external IP of the machine.
This means if your listening on loopback you have to use 127.0.0.1
and not localhost
