This lightning talk will focus on: * Brief overview of HTTP.jl’s history and inspiration from other language http libraries (python requests and go net/http) * Request functionality, including automatic cookie handling, builtin AWS authentication, custom timeout handling, and more! * A powerful new middleware Handler framework for flexibly layering server functionality Come get up to speed on the latest and greatest web functionality in Julia and leave with a sharpened toolset that every coder needs in today’s computing world.
