hyper
A Modern HTTP library for Rust.
Overview
Hyper is a fast, modern HTTP implementation written in and for Rust. It is a low-level typesafe abstraction over raw HTTP, providing an elegant layer over "stringly-typed" HTTP.
Hyper offers both an HTTP/S client an HTTP server which can be used to drive complex web applications written entirely in Rust.
The documentation is located at http://hyperium.github.io/hyper.
__WARNING: Hyper is still under active development. The API is still changing in non-backwards-compatible ways without warning.
Example
Hello World Server:
fn hello(mut incoming: Incoming) {
for (_, mut res) in incoming {
*res.status_mut() = status::Ok;
let mut res = res.start().unwrap();
res.write(b"Hello World!");
res.end().unwrap();
}
}
fn main() {
let server = Server::http(Ipv4Addr(127, 0, 0, 1), 1337);
server.listen(hello).unwrap();
}
Client:
fn main() {
// Creating an outgoing request.
let mut req = Request::get(Url::parse("http://www.gooogle.com/")).unwrap();
// Setting a header.
req.headers_mut().set(Foo);
// Start the Request, writing headers and starting streaming.
let res = req.start().unwrap()
// Send the Request.
.send().unwrap()
// Read the Response.
.read_to_string().unwrap()
println!("Response: {}", res);
}
