By knowing if the incoming Request was a HEAD, or checking for 204 or
304 status codes, the server will do a better job of either adding
or removing `Content-Length` and `Transfer-Encoding` headers.
Closes#1257
- Checks for that the `Transfer-Encoding` header has `chunked` as its
last encoding
- Makes `Transfer-Encoding` take priority over `Content-Length`
- Rejects requests that contain a `Content-Length` header, but is
invalid (or contains multiple with different values).
The Response body was previously inaccessible to application code. This
change allows applications that may wish to alter the Response based on
previous creation (or not) of the body to do so.
n.b. discussion in #1216 indicates this function may change in
0.12 or be removed in favour of some other api.
Closes#1216.
Update the docs for `Content-Length` and `Transfer-Encoding` to mention
that they are mutually exclusive, and that setting one will unset the
other, in accordance with RFC7230.
Also expand the docs for `Request::set_body` to say that chunked
encoding is used by default, and mention how to disable this feature.
This is a temporary function until the `TryFrom` trait stabilizes.
BREAKING CHANGE: Removes the undocumented `from_u16` function. Use
`StatusCode::try_from` instead.
Also makes the `status` module private. All imports of
`hyper::status::StatusCode` should be `hyper::StatusCode`.
The `RawStatus` types on the `Response` are now gone by default. To make
use of them, the `raw_status` feature must be enabled in `Cargo.toml`.
BREAKING CHANGE: To use `RawStatus`, you must enable the `raw_status`
crate feature.
This is actually one of the biggest impacts to benchmark performances at
this point. Caching the rendering of the Date header improves "hello
world" benchmarks by around 10%.
Request and Response are now visible from:
- hyper::{Request, Response}
- hyper::server::{Request, Response}
- hyper::client::{Request, Response}
They truly exist in the http module, but are re-exported to reduce the number of breaking changes.
request::new and response::new were renamed to ::from_wire to reduce confusion with Request::new
and Response::new. See issue #1126
Request now has an optional Body, because not all requests have bodies.
Use body_ref() to determine if a body exists.
Use body() to take the body, or construct one if no body exists.
Closes#1155
BREAKING CHANGE: Response::body() now consumes the response
This removes the need for someone to use the `time` crate to create a
date compatible with HTTP headers. It now works with the `SystemTime`
type from the standard library.
BREAKING CHANGE: `HttpDate` no longer has public fields. Convert between
`HttpDate` and `SystemTime` as needed.
