hyper
A Modern HTTP library for Rust.
Documentation
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 client and server which can be used to drive complex web applications written entirely in Rust.
The documentation is located at http://hyperium.github.io/hyper.
Example
Hello World Server:
extern crate hyper;
use hyper::Server;
use hyper::server::Request;
use hyper::server::Response;
fn hello(_: Request, res: Response) {
res.send(b"Hello World!").unwrap();
}
fn main() {
Server::http("127.0.0.1:3000").unwrap()
.handle(hello).unwrap();
}Client:
extern crate hyper;
use std::io::Read;
use hyper::Client;
use hyper::header::Connection;
fn main() {
// Create a client.
let client = Client::new();
// Creating an outgoing request.
let mut res = client.get("http://rust-lang.org/")
// set a header
.header(Connection::close())
// let 'er go!
.send().unwrap();
// Read the Response.
let mut body = String::new();
res.read_to_string(&mut body).unwrap();
println!("Response: {}", body);
}
