Heimdall: HTTP client in golang

<p>A try at writing a http client wrapper in golang. This has support for hystrix and retries. Constructive feedback is welcome. Thanks</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/gojek-engineering/heimdall" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/gojek-engineering/heimdall</a></p> <hr/>**评论：**<br/><br/>piratelax40: <pre><p>I think one thing that would be very helpful is to provide some information and/or compare this against other existing solutions in the ecosystem to illustrate why to check this out over. For example comparing to <a href="https://github.com/h2non/gentleman" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/h2non/gentleman</a></p></pre>rshetty01: <pre><p>Sure thanks for this suggestion. Will do</p></pre>kostix: <pre><p>Projects like this should consider moving pictures in their READMEs lower down as I, for one, tend to immediately close the browser&#39;s page rendering that README and forget about the project as soon as I notice such a picture.</p></pre>Kraigius: <pre><p>At least he&#39;s not using any emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯</p></pre>patrickdappollonio: <pre><p>The commenter has a point. I&#39;m on mobile and the only thing GitHub showed me was the photo. I have to click on the Readme to continue reading. </p></pre>Creshal: <pre><p><a href="https://www.h5l.org/" rel="nofollow">Very unfortunate naming.</a></p></pre>alreadyburnt: <pre><p><a href="https://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/" rel="nofollow">Extremely so</a>.</p></pre>ChristophBerger: <pre><p>None of the linked projects is a Go library, so there is only little chance of confusing any of the three projects. </p></pre>xokas11: <pre><p>So I&#39;m pretty new at using go, but what&#39;s the advantage of using this instead of using the included default client? </p> <p>I know about the timeout issue with it, but besides that, What is the default client lacking?</p></pre>kjolesquid: <pre><p>&#34;How do I use this? Ah... the usage section. Reading... wtf is a backoff? WTF is a EXPONENTIAL backoff?&#34; Where is the simple usage code examples?</p></pre>rshetty01: <pre><p>I am still in process of refining and updating README. Thanks for the feedback. Will update the README with more information and also example_test files for showing usage. Thanks once again</p></pre>
