Installation

npm install tcurl

Examples

Thrift

For the purposes of these examples, let's assume that you have a TChannel server listening on localhost:1234. The server registers handlers for the thrift interface saved as services/chamber.thrift and defined as:

struct EchoRequest {
  1: required string input;
}

service Chamber {
  string echo(
    1: required EchoRequest request;
  )
}

You could use TCurl to query this service by running:

tcurl -p localhost:1234 chamber Chamber::echo -t ./services -3 '{"request": {"input": "foo"}}'

localhost caveat

For TChannel and Hyperbahn to work together effectively, most tchannel services need to listen on the external IP of the host they are running on.

This means when you use 127.0.0.1 you cannot reach the service with tcurl as it's not listening on loopback.

To make supporting external IPs easier we've made localhost resolve to the external IP of the machine. This means if your listening on loopback you have to use 127.0.0.1 and not localhost

tcurlrc

TCurl can be configured with default parameters using a either /etc/tcurlrc or a .tcurlrc in the current working directory or any of its parent directories. The rc file may be in INI or JSON format.

{
    "hostlist": "/etc/ringpop/hosts.json"
}
