ErysDownloader

After a lot of years, since of .net 2.0, I'm using WebClient .net class, it's is stack HTTP library but sometime I need more server HTTP control flow and it's sometime sounds bad.

In 2012 I decide plan and project a new HTTP library to my projects and I call it as ErysDownloader, Erys is my old female friend called Eryane, she was a frenetic's movie downloader.

ErysDownloader, is a pure C# lightweight HTTP text/html download library. No dependece.

Usage:

//Direct internet connection
var sd = new SocketDownloader();

//or classic proxy
var proxy = new ClassicProxy();
proxy.Host = "10.2.0.1";
proxy.Port = 3128;
proxy.Credencial = new Credencial()
{
    UserName = "myusername", Password = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String("RDSa4OP=="))
};
sd = new SocketDownloader(proxy);

//or proxy tunneling
sd = new SocketDownloader(new Tunnel() { Host = "myproxy", Port = 8080 });

//or chain proxy
sd = new SocketDownloader(new Tunnel(
  new Tunnel()
  {
      Host = "myproxy1", Port = 8080
  })
{
    Host = "myproxy2", Port = 8080
});

var uri = new Uri("http://www.microsoft.com");
IEnumerable<string> requestHeaders = new[] {"Connection: Keep-Alive", "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate"};
var response = sd.Execute(uri, requestHeaders);
//response.Headers
//response.Content

Feature:

• Full HTTP GET verb stack protocol (SSL, chucked content, gzip and deflate)
• Direct Connection
• Classic Proxy
• Tunnel Proxy
• Chain Proxy
• KeepAlive

To do:

• HEAD Verb before GET to persist tcp connection
• SOCKS 4 Proxy
• SOCKS 5 Proxy
• HTTP 2.0 implementation
