Using `time::Tm` directly in HTTP header fields requires special handling to parse and format
the header values., this stops us from using the header macros. By wrapping `time::Time` in a
`HttpDate`, we can use the `FromStr` and `Display` traits of `HttpDate` like for most other values.
BREAKING_CHANGE: All code using one of the `Date`, `Expires`, `If-Modified-Since`,
`If-Unmodified-Since`, `Last-Modified` header fields needs to wrap `time::Tm`
with `HttpDate`. Removed `FromStr` trait of `Date`, `If-Modified-Sice` and `If-Unmodified-Sice`,
implementing the trait here is inconsistent with other headers.
This commit fixes `cargo build` and `cargo test`.
Method lookup on traits seems to have changed to force
`impl TraitName` expressions to be more specific. That means that
`method` will not be found anymore on an object of type `&Trait+Send`,
unless you provide an `impl Trait+Send`.
Now `NetworkStream` and `HeaderFormat` trait implementations
are done against `* + Send`, which helps the compiler to find the
respective `downcast*` method implementations once again.
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.
BREAKING CHANGE: added requirement that all HeaderFormat implementations
must also be fmt::Debug. This likely as easy as slapping
#[derive(Debug)] on to any custom headers.
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.
Using floating point numbers is problematic because comparison is inexact.
They also take more space than integral numbers in this case.
Add `FromPrimitve`, `ToPrimitive` and `Default` traits to quality newtype.
Closes: #330
BREAKING_CHANGE: Replace f32 quality values in quality items with a
Quality(u16) newtype. Valid values are from 0 to 1000.
It turns out, we don't need capabilities of MuCell (or even RefCell).
We don't to have sophisticated interior mutability. We don't ever lend
out references that may be mutated later. Instead, if there is no value
to lend, then we generate the value, require interior mutability to save
the value internally, and then we return a reference. We never ever
change a value once it's been generated. It can be changed, but only via
&mut self methods, where we can safely reason about mutability.
This means we don't need keep borrow checking code at runtime, which
helps performance. We also are able to reduce the amount of unsafe
transmutes. The internal API more safely constrains the usage of unsafe,
enforcing our invariants, instead of shotgunning unsafe usage with Refs
and promising we're doing it correctly.

Allow use of EntityTag in other headers that use entity tags.
BREAKING CHANGE: for any consumers of the Etag header, since the entity
tag is now in a tuple.
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`.
- Some stray deriving -> derive changes
- use::{mod} -> use::{self}
- fmt.write -> fmt.write_str
This does not catch the last case of fmt.write_str in the
Show impl of a Header Item. This will need to be changed
separately.
- 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.)
