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 and 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(_: Request, res: Response<Fresh>) { *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() { // Create a client. let mut client = Client::new(); // Creating an outgoing request. let mut res = client.get("http://www.gooogle.com/") // set a header .header(Connection(vec![Close])) // let 'er go! .send(); // Read the Response. let body = res.read_to_string().unwrap(); println!("Response: {}", res); }
