Many people will find `hyper` when searching for a Rust HTTP crate. Reqwest is not nearly so easy to find unless you know what you are looking for, but is what a lot of people looking for a rust http library need. Let's point them in the right direction. I recently came across a new Rust user on Reddit who had found the hyper crate, but was trying to use libcurl bindings to make http requests because they hadn't managed to find reqwest.
The 1.0 milestone has currently no issues but the 0.12 milestone has. So instead of adjusting the README.md for each next mileston, just link to all milestones
BREAKING CHANGE: Server::https was changed to allow any implementation
of Ssl. Server in general was also changed. HttpConnector no longer
uses SSL; using HttpsConnector instead.
1. Add a shields.io license badge to allow quick, effective identification
of the license without requiring the user to scroll to the bottom of the
page.
2. Remove the single-word license section at the bottom of the page as it
is now superfluous and looks unpolished.
3. Move the crates.io badge beyond the license badge so that its orange
colour won't knock the viewer's brain off fast-path evaluation when
using the badge row as a status dashboard (as explained in #525).
Fixes#525
All instances of `old_io` and `old_path` were switched to use the new
shiny `std::io`, `std::net`, and `std::path` modules. This means that
`Request` and `Response` implement `Read` and `Write` now.
Because of the changes to `TcpListener`, this also takes the opportunity
to correct the method usage of `Server`. As with other
languages/frameworks, the server is first created with a handler, and
then a host/port is passed to a `listen` method. This reverses what
`Server` used to do.
Closes#347
BREAKING CHANGE: Check the docs. Everything was touched.
Fix compilation errors relating to mutable borrowing the status
code from an immutably borrowed response. Also add the `extern crate
hyper` and appropriate `use` lines.
- Includes ergonomic traits like IntoUrl and IntoBody, allowing easy
usage.
- Client can have a RedirectPolicy.
- Client can have a SslVerifier.
Updated benchmarks for client. (Disabled rust-http client bench since it
hangs.)
