  • Caddy

    Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  • Project mention: Why Does Windows Use Backslash as Path Separator? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-24

    No, look at the associated unit test: https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/c6eb186064091c79f4...

    If that test fails we could serve PHP source code instead of having it be evaluated, a major security flaw.

  • requests

    A simple, yet elegant, HTTP library.

  • Project mention: Revived the promise made six years ago for Requests 3 | dev.to | 2024-04-02

    For many years now, Requests has been frozen. Being left in a vegetative state and not evolving, this blocked millions of developers from using more advanced features.

  • trackerslist

    Updated list of public BitTorrent trackers

  • Project mention: Updated list of public BitTorrent trackers | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-03

  • aria2

    aria2 is a lightweight multi-protocol & multi-source, cross platform download utility operated in command-line. It supports HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink.

  • Project mention: Bypass download limits? | /r/Piracy | 2023-12-09

    For sites with limited download speeds I usually use aria2 (via terminal) since it supports segmented/multi connection downloading. But I guess this wouldn't work with 1fichier, since with these sites you usually don't get direct link to the file and/or sites like these limit the number of parallel connections. I also used it for torrents for a while, but I wouldn't recommend doing this anymore.

  • httpie

    🥧 HTTPie CLI — modern, user-friendly command-line HTTP client for the API era. JSON support, colors, sessions, downloads, plugins & more. (by httpie)

  • window.fetch polyfill

    A window.fetch JavaScript polyfill.

  • Project mention: How do I detect requests initiated by the new fetch standard? How should I detect an AJAX request in general? | /r/codehunter | 2023-07-02

    Most js libraries use XMLHttpRequest and so provide HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH: XMLHttpRequest, but neither Chrome's implementation nor Github's polyfill of the new fetch uses a similar header. So how can one detect that the request is AJAX?

  • request

    🏊🏾 Simplified HTTP request client.

  • Project mention: How to Create a Real-time Public Transportation Schedule App | dev.to | 2024-03-01

    request for HTTP requests outside of the browser.

  • postgrest

  • Project mention: Supabase – General Availability Week | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15

    hey hn, supabase ceo her

    we just announced GA, after ~4 years of beta. for those who don't know: supabase is a postgres hosting company. we also host other open source "backend" tools that make it easy to get started with postgres (tools like PostgREST for auto-generate APIs [0])

    we owe a lot to the HN community. you launched us 4 years ago [1], when we were just a few developers. since then HN has been a staple in our journey, one of the best sources of product feedback [2]

    the GA badge is mostly to signify organizational readiness. we're at a stage where we can take any profile of customer. we have a support team that works 24/7, and a success team that will help customers improve their postgres usage. we released our Index Advisor [3] yesterday, and we'll be releasing a few more products this week that helps customer with performance and security.

    on a personal note: i read HN most days, and love going through the ShowHN's to see what devs are building. thanks for being an awesome community and my favorite place to lurk on the internet. i'll stick around to answer any questions

  • chi

    lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services

  • Project mention: Deploy a Golang serverless function for a demo form with htmx | dev.to | 2024-03-30

    I use go-chi for handling routes and to server static file(stylesheet).

  • µWebSockets

    Simple, secure & standards compliant web server for the most demanding of applications

  • Project mention: I'm open-sourcing my game engine | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-19

    They use (uWebSockets)[https://github.com/uNetworking/uWebSockets], which was written in C++, but has an interface to use in NodeJS. It's been really performant for me in my simple tests compared to other popular websocket libs that slow down fairly quickly.

  • superagent

    Ajax for Node.js and browsers (JS HTTP client). Maintained for @forwardemail, @ladjs, @spamscanner, @breejs, @cabinjs, and @lassjs.

  • Project mention: 5 Ways to Make HTTP Requests in Node.js | dev.to | 2024-02-20

    SuperAgent is a lightweight and flexible HTTP client that supports promises and callback-style syntax. It is known for its simplicity and ease of use.

  • httprouter

    A high performance HTTP request router that scales well

  • Project mention: Authentication system using Golang and Sveltekit - Initialization and setup | dev.to | 2023-06-02

    Following the completion of the series — Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using rust (actix-web) and sveltekit and Secure and performant full-stack authentication system using Python (Django) and SvelteKit — I felt I should keep the streak by building an equivalent system in PURE go with very minimal external dependencies. We won't use any fancy web framework apart from httprouter and other basic dependencies including a database driver (pq), and redis client. As usual, we'll be using SvelteKit at the front end, favouring JSDoc instead of TypeScript. The combination is ecstatic!
