# Protocol::HTTP
Provides abstractions for working with the HTTP protocol.
[](https://github.com/socketry/protocol-http/actions?workflow=Test)
## Features
- General abstractions for HTTP requests and responses.
- Symmetrical interfaces for client and server.
- Light-weight middleware model for building applications.
## Usage
Please see the [project documentation](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/) for more details.
- [Getting Started](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/guides/getting-started/index) - This guide explains how to use `protocol-http` for building abstract HTTP interfaces.
- [Message Body](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/guides/message-body/index) - This guide explains how to work with HTTP request and response message bodies using `Protocol::HTTP::Body` classes.
- [Headers](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/guides/headers/index) - This guide explains how to work with HTTP headers using `protocol-http`.
- [Middleware](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/guides/middleware/index) - This guide explains how to build and use HTTP middleware with `Protocol::HTTP::Middleware`.
- [Streaming](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/guides/streaming/index) - This guide gives an overview of how to implement streaming requests and responses.
- [Design Overview](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/guides/design-overview/index) - This guide explains the high level design of `protocol-http` in the context of wider design patterns that can be used to implement HTTP clients and servers.
## Releases
Please see the [project releases](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/releases/index) for all releases.
### v0.55.0
- **Breaking**: Move `Protocol::HTTP::Header::QuotedString` to `Protocol::HTTP::QuotedString` for better reusability.
- **Breaking**: Handle cookie key/value pairs using `QuotedString` as per RFC 6265.
- Don't use URL encoding for cookie key/value.
- **Breaking**: Remove `Protocol::HTTP::URL` and `Protocol::HTTP::Reference` – replaced by `Protocol::URL` gem.
- `Protocol::HTTP::URL` -\> `Protocol::URL::Encoding`.
- `Protocol::HTTP::Reference` -\> `Protocol::URL::Reference`.
### v0.54.0
- Introduce rich support for `Header::Digest`, `Header::ServerTiming`, `Header::TE`, `Header::Trailer` and `Header::TransferEncoding`.
- [Improved HTTP Trailer Security](https://socketry.github.io/protocol-http/releases/index#improved-http-trailer-security)
### v0.53.0
- Improve consistency of Body `#inspect`.
- Improve `as_json` support for Body wrappers.
### v0.52.0
- Add `Protocol::HTTP::Headers#to_a` method that returns the fields array, providing compatibility with standard Ruby array conversion pattern.
- Expose `tail` in `Headers.new` so that trailers can be accurately reproduced.
- Add agent context.
### v0.51.0
- `Protocol::HTTP::Headers` now raise a `DuplicateHeaderError` when a duplicate singleton header (e.g. `content-length`) is added.
- `Protocol::HTTP::Headers#add` now coerces the value to a string when adding a header, ensuring consistent behaviour.
- `Protocol::HTTP::Body::Head.for` now accepts an optional `length` parameter, allowing it to create a head body even when the body is not provided, based on the known content length.
### v0.50.0
- Drop support for Ruby v3.1.
### v0.48.0
- Add support for parsing `accept`, `accept-charset`, `accept-encoding` and `accept-language` headers into structured values.
### v0.46.0
- Add support for `priority:` header.
### v0.33.0
- Clarify behaviour of streaming bodies and copy `Protocol::Rack::Body::Streaming` to `Protocol::HTTP::Body::Streamable`.
- Copy `Async::HTTP::Body::Writable` to `Protocol::HTTP::Body::Writable`.
### v0.31.0
- Ensure chunks are flushed if required, when streaming.
