The default Statifier.Send.BasicHTTP.Transport, on OTP's :httpc
(ADR-0075 decision 6). No dependency: :inets, :ssl and :public_key
ship with OTP.
This package's application list names none of them, so a host that
registers nothing starts nothing. The adapter starts :inets and :ssl
itself on its first POST, and checks that :ssl and :public_key can
be loaded; when they cannot, the POST answers {:error, reason} and the
processor reports the miss.
For an https URL it verifies the peer (verify: :verify_peer) against
the system CA store (:public_key.cacerts_get/0) and checks the host
name. Each request is bounded by a five-second connect timeout and a
five-second request timeout, so a slow location holds the sending
session no longer than that.
Summary
Functions
POSTs body with headers to url through :httpc, once (see
