The `header::Formatter` ensures that a formatted header is written to a
line, and allows for headers that require multiple lines. The only
header to specifically require this is `Set-Cookie`.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `fmt_header` method has changed to take a different
formatter. In most cases, if your header also implements
`fmt::Display`, you can just call `f.fmt_line(self)`.
The Raw type repesents the raw bytes of a header-value.
Having a special type allows a couple of benefits:
- The exact representation has become private, allowing "uglier"
internals. Specifically, since the common case is for a header to only
have 1 line of bytes, an enum is used to skip allocating a Vec for only
1 line. Additionally, a Cow<'static, [u8]> is used, so static bytes
don't require a copy. Finally, since we can use static bytes, when
parsing, we can compare the incoming bytes against a couple of the most
common header-values, and possibly remove another copy.
- As its own type, the `Headers.set_raw` method can be generic over
`Into<Raw>`, which allows for more ergnomic method calls.
BREAKING CHANGE: `Header::parse_header` now receives `&Raw`, instead of
a `&[Vec<u8>]`. `Raw` provides several methods to ease using it, but
may require some changes to existing code.
Header::parse_header() returns now a hyper Result instead of an option
this will enable more precise Error messages in the future, currently
most failures are reported as ::Error::Header.
BREAKING CHANGE: parse_header returns Result instead of Option, related
code did also change
The header is largely for internal use, however, it must be exported
because the header! macro uses it. As deref! is also a particularly
general name, this renames it to __hyper__deref! to prevent name
clashes.
BREAKING CHANGE: If you use deref! from the header module, you'll need
to switch to using __hyper__deref!.
It is no longer required, as we can use `<H as Header>::header_name()`.
BREAKING CHANGE: Implementations of Header will need to adjust the
header_name method. It no longer takes any arguments.
Currently headers are exported at many places. For example you can access
`Transfer-Encoding` header at `header`, `header::common` and
`header::common::transfer_encoding`. Per discussion on IRC with
@seanmonstar and @reem, all contents of headers will be exposed at `header`
directly. Parsing utilities will be exposed at `header::parsing`. Header
macros can now be used from other crates.
This breaks much code using headers. It should use everything it needs
directly from `header::`, encodings are exposed at `header::Encoding::`,
connection options are exposed at `header::ConnectionOption`.
