Paul King updated GROOVY-11879:
-------------------------------
Component/s: http-builder
> A very simple DSL over the JDK's HTTP client
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-11879
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-11879
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: http-builder
> Reporter: Paul King
> Assignee: Paul King
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 6.0.0-alpha-1
>
>
> In the past there have been very handy libraries like HttpBuilder and
> HttpBuilderNG. They are no longer supported. Instead folks use the native JDK
> client in JDK11+, libraries like okhttp, or our own Apache Geb. For simple
> scripting scenarios, none of the options are as clean as what the old http
> builder libraries provided.
> We rejected a previous proposal to have a built-in client: GROOVY-8209. At
> the time it was going to add additional dependencies and the JDK builtin
> client wasn't out. Times have moved on and there are times when doing simple
> scripting when a tiny bit of syntactic sugar over the JDKs client would
> provide useful without adding too much maintenance to our project.
> It isn't meant to handle many tricky cases - we have Geb for that and we can
> make use of the existing APIs of the JDK client for some less common things
> not covered by the little DSL.
