How can I play with cohttp-eio now?

[dangdennis]

Since there’s no opam package yet for cohttp on the ocaml 5.0 beta switch, can you recommend a path to try out cohttp with eio?

Ive gone as far as just vendoring http, cohttp, and cohttp-eio locally just to run it. Is there a simpler way that lets me continually pull any dev changes?

If you use opam, you can clone this repository and pin it wil opam pin . —-with-version 6.0.0~alpha0. I was planning to release an alpha soon, I will try to get to it next week.

Ooh thank you. I’ll try this asap.

It should work if you do something like opam pin git@github.com:mirage/ocaml-cohttp —with-versiom 6.0.0~alpha0, in that way you don’t need to manually pull

opam pin add https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp.git --with-version 6.0.0~alpha0 is the working command now.

i couldn't get git@... to work. iirc, github disabled download of git@urls from non-ssh origins.

the error.

cohttp-eio works! thanks for the work @mseri @bikallem

If you pin the https url it works?

It did work.
