requests package

The requests package provides functions for transferring data using the HTTP protocol. Import the http/requests package:

import "http/requests"

Options

option requests.defaultConfig = {
    // Timeout on the request. If the timeout is zero no timeout is applied
    timeout: 0s,
    // insecureSkipVerify If true, TLS verification will not be performed. This is insecure.
    insecureSkipVerify: false,
}

defaultConfig

defaultConfig is the global default for all http requests using the requests package. Changing this config will affect all other packages using the requests package. To change the config for a single request, pass a new config directly into the corresponding function.
