inaka/shotgun

Shotgun is an Erlang HTTP client library that provides a high-level API for making standard HTTP requests and handling Server-Sent Events. Built on top of the Gun library, it manages connections via a gen\_statem behavior and includes a comprehensive test suite covering core methods, authentication, and streaming scenarios.

A new rel/sys.config file has been introduced to define the default configuration for the shotgun application. The file initializes the shotgun application with an empty configuration list, establishing the baseline settings for the release environment.

rel · high confidence

This change introduces the Shotgun library, an HTTP client built on top of Gun. It provides a high-level API for making HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc.) and handling Server-Sent Events (SSE). The package includes the main \shotgun\ module implementing a \gen\_statem\ behavior for connection management, along with application (\shotgun\_app\) and supervisor (\shotgun\_sup\) modules to manage the process tree. Users can now open connections, send requests with various options (async, timeout, SSL), and parse SSE events.

src · high confidence

Added Common Test (CT) suites and supporting test infrastructure to verify the Shotgun HTTP client library. The new tests cover core HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH), basic authentication, and error handling for invalid URIs. Additionally, the suite includes tests for asynchronous operations, specifically Server-Sent Events (SSE) and binary streaming, including event parsing, custom event handlers, and connection drop scenarios with and without reconnection enabled.

test · high confidence

The project has switched its build system from erlang.mk to rebar3, introducing a new rebar.config and lockfile while removing legacy build artifacts. The underlying HTTP client dependency, Gun, has been upgraded to version 2.2 (resolved to 2.4.1 in the lockfile), requiring users to update their environment accordingly. Additionally, the project now requires Erlang 17 or later due to the use of maps in the API.
