HTTP API

HTTP plugin provides helper methods that works with native HttpClient. These methods help reduce the boilerplate needed to build HttpRequestMessage, send or receive JSON objects, calculate data transfer, etc.

Basic Example:

var httpClient = Http.CreateDefaultClient();

var scenario = Scenario.Create("http_scenario", async context =>
{   
    var request =
        Http.CreateRequest("GET", "https://nbomber.com")
            .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
            .WithBody(new StringContent("{ some JSON }", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));

    var response = await Http.Send(httpClient, request);

    return response;
});

Advanced Example:

var httpClient = Http.CreateDefaultClient();

var scenario = Scenario.Create("http_scenario", async context =>
{
    var step1 = await Step.Run("step_1", context, async () =>
    {
        var request =
            Http.CreateRequest("GET", "https://nbomber.com")
                .WithHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .WithBody(new StringContent("{ some JSON }", Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"));

        var response = await Http.Send(httpClient, request)
