Features and releases [here](./RELEASES.md)
## Install
```
npm install @actions/http-client --save
```
## Samples
See the [tests](./__tests__) for detailed examples.
## Errors
### HTTP
The HTTP client does not throw unless truly exceptional.
* A request that successfully executes resulting in a 404, 500 etc... will return a response object with a status code and a body.
* Redirects (3xx) will be followed by default.
See the [tests](./__tests__) for detailed examples.
## Debugging
To enable detailed console logging of all HTTP requests and responses, set the NODE_DEBUG environment varible:
```shell
export NODE_DEBUG=http
```
## Node support
The http-client is built using the latest LTS version of Node 12. It may work on previous node LTS versions but it's tested and officially supported on Node12+.
## Support and Versioning
We follow semver and will hold compatibility between major versions and increment the minor version with new features and capabilities (while holding compat).
