# `Assent.HTTPAdapter.Httpc`
[🔗](https://github.com/pow-auth/assent/blob/v0.4.0/lib/assent/http_adapter/httpc.ex#L2)

HTTP adapter module for making http requests with `:httpc`.

You can override the `:httpc` options by updating the configuration:

    http_adapter: {Assent.HTTPAdapter.Httpc, [...]}

Redirects are not followed by default, so credentials in headers and the
request body are never sent to another URL. You can enable them with
`:autoredirect`:

    http_adapter: {Assent.HTTPAdapter.Httpc, autoredirect: true}

See `Assent.HTTPAdapter` for more.

## TLS

By default, the `:ssl` options are:

    [
      cacerts: :public_key.cacerts_get(),
      customize_hostname_check: [
        match_fun: :public_key.pkix_verify_hostname_match_fun(:https)
      ],
      verify: :verify_peer
    ]

You can configure the `:ssl` options, which are merged on top of the
defaults:

    http_adapter: {Assent.HTTPAdapter.Httpc, ssl: [cacertfile: ~c"/path/to/ca.pem"]}

HTTPS requests configured with `verify: :verify_none` are rejected. You can
pass in a custom `:verify_fun` to handle certificate verification manually:

    http_adapter: {Assent.HTTPAdapter.Httpc, ssl: [verify_fun: {&MyModule.verify_fun/3, nil}]}
