This library is deprecated

All classes from this library have been copied to http-verbs starting from version 8.5.0. Some time ago http-verbs was split into three libraries: http-core (meant to be play-independent), http-verbs (play independent) and http-verbs-play-25 (with a dependency on play). Unfortunately http-core still contained play-json which is not binary compatibile between play 2.5 and 2.6. This means that libraries compiled against http-core could fail at runtime when used with a microservice using play 2.6. A decision was made to collapse all the classess from http-core, http-verbs and http-verbs-play-25 and only keep one single library: http-verbs. It will be available for both Play 2.5 and Play 2.6.

http-verbs-play-25 is a Scala library providing concrete implementation of hrmc/http-core for making asynchronous HTTP calls. The underlying implementation uses Play 2.5 WS.

It encapsulates some common concerns for calling other HTTP services on the HMRC Tax Platform, including:

  • Auditing
  • Logging
  • Propagation of common headers
  • Response handling, converting failure status codes into a consistent set of exceptions - allows failures to be automatically propagated to the caller
  • Request & Response de-serialization

Auditing is no longer part of http-verbs, please see docs for play-auditing for further info.

Adding to your build

In your SBT build add:

resolvers += Resolver.bintrayRepo("hmrc", "releases")

// is needed in your project to get the implementation for http transport
libraryDependencies += "uk.gov.hmrc" %% "http-verbs-play-25" % "x.x.x"

// is needed in your project to get the implementation of the business logic 
libraryDependencies += "uk.gov.hmrc" %% "http-verbs" % "x.x.x"
