Open Source Linux HTTP Clients

Plow is an HTTP(S) benchmarking tool, written in Golang. It uses excellent fast HTTP instead of Go's default net/http due to its lightning-fast performance. Plow runs at specified connections (option -c) concurrently and real-time records summary statistics, histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles to display on Web UI and terminal. It can run for a set duration( option -d), for a fixed number of requests(option -n), or until Ctrl-C is interrupted. The implementation of real-time computing Histograms and Quantiles using stream-based algorithms inspired by Prometheus with low memory and CPU bounds. so it's almost no additional performance overhead for benchmarking.

Coraza is an open-source, enterprise-grade, high-performance Web Application Firewall (WAF) ready to protect your beloved applications. It is written in Go, supports ModSecurity SecLang rulesets and is 100% compatible with the OWASP Core Rule Set. Coraza is a drop-in alternative to replace the soon-to-be abandoned Trustwave ModSecurity Engine and supports industry-standard SecLang rule sets. Coraza runs the OWASP Core Rule Set (CRS) to protect your web applications from a wide range of attacks, including the OWASP Top Ten, with a minimum of false alerts. CRS protects from many common attack categories including: SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), PHP & Java Code Injection, HTTPoxy, Shellshock, Scripting/Scanner/Bot Detection & Metadata & Error Leakages. Coraza is a library at its core, with many integrations to deploy on-premise Web Application Firewall instances.

faasd is OpenFaaS reimagined but without the cost and complexity of Kubernetes. It runs on a single host with very modest requirements, making it fast and easy to manage. Under the hood it uses containers and Container Networking Interface (CNI) along with the same core OpenFaaS components from the main project. To deploy microservices and functions that you can update and monitor remotely. When you don't have the bandwidth to learn or manage Kubernetes. To deploy embedded apps in IoT and edge use-cases. To distribute applications to a customer or client. You have a cost sensitive project - run faasd on a 1GB VM for 5-10 USD / mo or on your Raspberry Pi. When you just need a few functions or microservices, without the cost of a cluster.

NetTool is a developer tool for monitoring and manipulating application-level network messages, particularly useful for debugging web applications and web services. There are two components to NetTool: the HTTP Client, and the TCP Tunnel.

The AWS IoT Device SDK for Embedded C (C-SDK) is a collection of C source files under the MIT open source license that can be used in embedded applications to securely connect IoT devices to AWS IoT Core. It contains MQTT client, HTTP client, JSON Parser, AWS IoT Device Shadow, AWS IoT Jobs, and AWS IoT Device Defender libraries. This SDK is distributed in source form and can be built into customer firmware along with application code, other libraries, and an operating system (OS) of your choice. These libraries are only dependent on standard C libraries, so they can be ported to various OS's - from embedded Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) to Linux/Mac/Windows. You can find sample usage of C-SDK libraries on POSIX systems using OpenSSL (e.g. Linux demos in this repository), and on FreeRTOS using mbedTLS (e.g. FreeRTOS demos in the FreeRTOS repository). The coreHTTP library provides the ability to establish an HTTP connection with a server over a customer-implemented transport layer.

Fast Android Networking Library is a powerful library for doing any type of networking in Android applications which is made on top of OkHttp Networking Layer. Fast Android Networking Library takes care of each and everything. So you don't have to do anything, just make a request and listen for the response. The recent removal of HttpClient in Android Marshmallow(Android M) made other networking libraries obsolete. No other single library does and everything like making requests, downloading any type of file, uploading file, loading images from the network in ImageView, etc. There are some libraries but they are outdated. No other library provides a simple interface for doing all types of things in networking like setting priority, canceling, etc. As it uses Okio , No more GC overhead in android applications. Okio is made to handle GC overhead while allocating memory. Okio does some clever things to save CPU and memory.

HTTP Client Plugin is an Eclipse 3.3+ plugin that enables users to construct and execute HTTP protocol messages. It is intended to support protocol level testing of web components.

Forwards non-NTLM HTTP client requests to an NTLM proxy server (ie. Microsoft IAS). Can also forward a local port to a remote machine.

Netgraph is a packet sniffer tool that captures all HTTP requests/responses, and displays them in a web page. You can run Netgraph in your Linux server without a desktop environment installed, and monitor HTTP requests/responses in your laptop's browser.

Networking brings together URLSession, async-await (or Combine ), Decodable and Generics to simplify connecting to a JSON API. By providing a lightweight client that automates boilerplate code everyone has to write. By exposing a delightfully simple API to get the job done simply, clearly, and quickly. Getting swift models from a JSON API is now a problem of the past.

Nginx module for embedding Clojure or Java or Groovy programs, typically those Ring based handlers. Compatible with Ring and obviously supports those Ring-based frameworks, such as Compojure, etc. HTTP Services by using Clojure / Java / Groovy to write simple handlers for HTTP services. A build-in Jersey container to support java standard RESTful web services (JAX-RS 2.0). Tomcat 8 embedding support (so servlet 3.1/jsp/sendfile/JSR-356 WebSocket work within nginx!). Dynamic proxying by using Clojure / Java / Groovy to write a simple nginx rewrite handler to set var or return errors before a proxy pass or content ring handler. The non-blocking coroutine-based socket is Compatible with Java Socket API and works well with largely existing java libraries such as apache HTTP client, mysql jdbc drivers. With this feature, one java main thread can handle thousands of connections. Handle multiple sockets parallel in sub coroutines.
