There are many changes involved with this, but let's just talk about
user-facing changes.
- Creating a `Client` and `Server` now needs a Tokio `Core` event loop
to attach to.
- `Request` and `Response` both no longer implement the
`std::io::{Read,Write}` traits, but instead represent their bodies as a
`futures::Stream` of items, where each item is a `Chunk`.
- The `Client.request` method now takes a `Request`, instead of being
used as a builder, and returns a `Future` that resolves to `Response`.
- The `Handler` trait for servers is no more, and instead the Tokio
`Service` trait is used. This allows interoperability with generic
middleware.
BREAKING CHANGE: A big sweeping set of breaking changes.
Connector::connect already used &self, and so would require
synchronization to be handled per connector anyway. Adding Sync to the
Client allows users to setup config for a Client once, such as using a
single connection Pool, and then making requests across multiple
threads.
Closes#254
BREAKING CHANGE: Connectors and Protocols passed to the `Client` must
now also have a `Sync` bounds, but this shouldn't break default usage.
httparse is a http1 stateless push parser. This not only speeds up
parsing right now with sync io, but will also be useful for when we get
async io, since it's push based instead of pull.
BREAKING CHANGE: Several public functions and types in the `http` module
have been removed. They have been replaced with 2 methods that handle
all of the http1 parsing.
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.
- 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.)
The client Request now uses the same system as a server Response to track
the write status of headers, and the API has been updated accordingly.
Additionally, the Request constructors have been moved onto the Request object
instead of being top-level hyper functions, as this better namespaces the
client and Server.
