#HTTP Request contract

Part of the Jig standard library. With a contracts parent directory, copy the installed agreement and its license using jig import-contract jig:http-request contracts/http-request.

HTTP Request lets an ordinary Flow retrieve data or implement a service client without holding that service's credential. Jig performs one exact authorized request; the Flow interprets its response.

https://jig.md/contracts/http-request names the interface, not a server or a permission. A Flow includes its JSON descriptor locally and refers to it from uses. Jig matches its exact identity offline. The operator separately supplies named endpoint grants and approves their use.

• Delegate an HTTP resource: declaration, Binding and first call.
• Exact HTTP Request specification: policy, failures, credential trust, cancellation and limits.

This page explains the identity. It is not fetched during invocation resolution.
