**The `Error` is now an opaque struct**, which allows for more variants to
be added freely, and the internal representation to change without being
breaking changes.
For inspecting an `Error`, there are several `is_*` methods to check for
certain classes of errors, such as `Error::is_parse()`. The `cause` can
also be inspected, like before. This likely seems like a downgrade, but
more inspection can be added as needed!
The `Error` now knows about more states, which gives much more context
around when a certain error occurs. This is also expressed in the
description and `fmt` messages.
**Most places where a user would provide an error to hyper can now pass
any error type** (`E: Into<Box<std::error::Error>>`). This error is passed
back in relevant places, and can be useful for logging. This should make
it much clearer about what error a user should provide to hyper: any it
feels is relevant!

BREAKING CHANGE: `Error` is no longer an enum to pattern match over, or
to construct. Code will need to be updated accordingly.
For body streams or `Service`s, inference might be unable to determine
what error type you mean to return. Starting in Rust 1.26, you could
just label that as `!` if you never return an error.
The original `Connect` trait had some limitations:
- There was no way to provide more details to the connector about how to
connect, other than the `Uri`.
- There was no way for the connector to return any extra information
about the connected transport.
- The `Error` was forced to be an `std::io::Error`.
- The transport and future had `'static` requirements.
As hyper gains HTTP/2 support, some of these things needed to be
changed. We want to allow the user to configure whether they hope to
us ALPN to start an HTTP/2 connection, and the connector needs to be
able to return back to hyper if it did so.
The new `Connect` trait is meant to solve this.
- The `connect` method now receives a `Destination` type, instead of a
`Uri`. This allows us to include additional data about how to connect.
- The `Future` returned from `connect` now must be a tuple of the
transport, and a `Connected` metadata value. The `Connected` includes
possibly extra data about what happened when connecting.
BREAKING CHANGE: Custom connectors should now implement `Connect`
directly, instead of `Service`.
Calls to `connect` no longer take `Uri`s, but `Destination`. There
are `scheme`, `host`, and `port` methods to query relevant
information.
The returned future must be a tuple of the transport and `Connected`.
If no relevant extra information is needed, simply return
`Connected::new()`.
Closes#1428
This dedicated `Entity` trait replaces the previous `Stream<Item=impl
AsRef<[u8]>, Error=hyper::Error>`. This allows for several improvements
immediately, and prepares for HTTP2 support.
- The `Entity::is_end_stream` makes up for change away from
`Option<Body>`, which was previously used to know if the body should be
empty. Since `Request` and `Response` now require a body to be set,
this method can be used to tell hyper that the body is actually empty.
It also provides the possibility of slight optimizations when polling
for data, by allowing to check `is_end_stream` before polling again.
This can allow a consumer to know that a body stream has ended without
polling for `None` afterwards.
- The `Entity::content_length` method allows a body to automatically
declare a size, in case a user doesn't set a `Content-Length` or
`Transfer-Encoding` header.
- It's now possible to send and receive trailers, though this will be
for HTTP2 connections only.
By being a trait owned by hyper, new methods can be added later as new
features are wanted (with default implementations).
The `hyper::Body` type now implements `Entity` instead of `Stream`,
provides a better channel option, and is easier to use with custom
streams via `Body::wrap_stream`.
BREAKING CHANGE: All code that was assuming the body was a `Stream` must
be adjusted to use an `Entity` instead.
Using `hyper::Body` as a `Stream` can call `Body::into_stream`
to get a stream wrapper.
Passing a custom `impl Stream` will need to either implement
`Entity`, or as an easier option, switch to `Body::wrap_stream`.
`Body::pair` has been replaced with `Body::channel`, which returns a
`hyper::body::Sender` instead of a `futures::sync::mpsc::Sender`.
Closes#1438
BREAKING CHANGE: `Method`, `Request`, `Response`, `StatusCode`,
`Version`, and `Uri` have been replaced with types from the `http`
crate. The `hyper::header` module is gone for now.
Removed `Client::get`, since it needed to construct a `Request<B>`
with an empty body. Just use `Client::request` instead.
Removed `compat` cargo feature, and `compat` related API.
The higher-level `Client` has never supported `CONNECT` requests,
but it used to send them, and then handle the responses incorrectly.
Now, it will return an error immediately instead of misbehaving.
The HttpConnector's connect future was lazy, but if any custom connector
did not use a lazy future, then a connect would always be started, even
if an idle connection was available.
If a request sees an error on a pooled connection before ever writing
any bytes, it will now retry with a new connection.
This can be configured with `Config::retry_canceled_requests(bool)`.
Currently, if the remote closes the connection at the same time that the
pool selects it to use for a new request, the connection may actually
hang. This fix will now more allow the keep-alive read to check the
socket even when the `Conn` think it's busy.
If the connection was closed before the request write happened, returns
back an `Error::Cancel`, letting the user know they could safely retry
it.
Closes#1439
Setting this to false will force HTTP/1 connections to always flatten
all buffers (headers and body) before writing to the transport. The
default is true.
This allows using a future `Executor` other than a `Handle` to execute
the background (connection) tasks needed for sending requests and
responses.
This also deprecates `Client::handle()`, since the executor may not be
a `Handle`.
- Deprecates the `no_proto` configuration on `Server`. It is always
enabled.
- Deprecates all pieces related to tokio-proto.
- Makes the tokio-proto crate optional, and the `server-proto` feature
can be used to completely remove the dependency. It is enabled by
default.
Additionally fixes if there were idle connections when a `Client` is
dropped.
Only fixes with the no-proto dispatcher, as changing internals for the
tokio-proto dispatcher would be much harder, and it will replace it very
soon.
Closes#1397
For now, this adds `client::Config::no_proto`, `server::Http::no_proto`,
and `server::Server::no_proto` to skip tokio-proto implementations, and
use an internal dispatch system instead.
`Http::no_proto` is similar to `Http::bind_connection`, but returns a
`Connection` that is a `Future` to drive HTTP with the provided service.
Any errors prior to parsing a request, and after delivering a response
(but before flush the response body) will be returned from this future.
See #1342 for more.
If a `Request`'s version is `Http09`, `H2`, or `H2c`, `client.request`
will return a `hyper::Error::Version`, and a message is logged at
`error!` level.
Closes#1283
Remove requirement when calling client::Config::connector() that the connector implements Connect.
Removing this requirement allows users to set the connector back to UseDefaultConnector. Previously,
this was not possible.
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
BREAKING CHANGE: The `Url` type is no longer used. Any instance in the
`Client` API has had it replaced with `hyper::Uri`.
This also means `Error::Uri` has changed types to
`hyper::error::UriError`.
The type `hyper::header::parsing::HTTP_VALUE` has been made private,
as an implementation detail. The function `http_percent_encoding`
should be used instead.
This commit updates to the most recent versions (released today) of the various
Tokio libraries in use. Namely the `tokio_core::io` module has now been
deprecated in favor of an external `tokio-io` crate. This commit pulls in that
crate and uses the `AsyncRead + AsyncWrite` abstraction instead of `Io` from
tokio-core.
BREAKING CHANGE: Any external types that were using that had implemented `Io` will need to
implement `AsyncRead + AsyncWrite` from tokio_io.
