biohttp: Normalized HTTP Transport with Circuit Breaking and Caching
Web service calls return a normalized result value instead of
raising a condition, so a caller branches on data rather than on an error
handler. Transport failure, a non-success status code, and an unreadable
response body are reported as three distinct outcomes. Per-host circuit
breaking, retry with a transient-failure predicate, optional throttling,
redacted request headers, and a success-only cache come as defaults. Many
questions to one source can be asked as a single batch, where only the
entries the cache is missing reach the network. Service-specific knowledge
is left to the client packages built on top. The circuit breaker is the
pattern described in Nygard (2018, ISBN:9781680502398).
