ashlr__http

Compressed HTTP fetch. Extracts main content from HTML, elides arrays in JSON, and enforces a byte cap.

Server: ashlr-http — servers/http-server.ts

Fetches a URL and returns a compressed representation. Replaces raw curl or native WebFetch calls in agent workflows. Four output modes available:

Mode	What it returns
`html` (default)	Title + main content extracted, boilerplate stripped
`json`	Pretty-printed, arrays elided after 5 elements
`raw`	Passthrough, byte-capped at 100 KB
`headers`	Response headers only

Input schema

Field	Type	Required	Description
`url`	`string`	yes	URL to fetch
`method`	`string`	no	HTTP method (default: `GET`)
`headers`	`object`	no	Request headers
`body`	`string`	no	Request body (for POST/PUT)
`mode`	`string`	no	`html`, `json`, `raw`, or `headers`
