Build Script

You can reference Cake.Http in your build script as a cake addin:

#addin "Cake.Http"

or nuget reference:

#addin "nuget:https://www.nuget.org/api/v2?package=Cake.Http"

Then some examples:

Task("Http-GET")
    .Description("Basic http 'GET' request.")
    .Does(() =>
    {
        string responseBody = HttpGet("https://www.google.com");
        Information(responseBody);
    });

Task("Http-GET-With-Settings")
    .Description("Basic http 'GET' request with settings.")
    .Does(() =>
    {
        var settings = new HttpSettings
        {
            Headers = new Dictionary
            {

            },
            UseDefaultCredentials = true,
            EnsureSuccessStatusCode = false
        };
        string responseBody = HttpGet("https://www.google.com", settings);

                    .SetRequestBody("{ \"id\": 123, \"name\": \"Test Test\" }");
        });
        Information(responseBody);
    });

Task("Http-POST-With-Settings-Form-Url-Encoded")
    .Description("http 'POST' request with fluent settings using form-url-encoded body.")
    .Does(() =>

            var formData = new Dictionary
            {
                { "id", "12345" },
                { "name", "Test Test" },
