- When the `Body` is created from a buffer of bytes (such as
`Body::from("hello")`), we can skip some bookkeeping that is
normally required for streaming bodies.
- Orthogonally, optimize encoding body chunks when the strategy
is to flatten into the headers buf, by skipping the EncodedBuf
enum.
The `hyper::Server` is now a proper higher-level API for running HTTP
servers. There is a related `hyper::server::Builder` type, to construct
a `Server`. All other types (`Http`, `Serve`, etc) were moved into the
"lower-level" `hyper::server::conn` module.
The `Server` is a `Future` representing a listening HTTP server. Options
needed to build one are set on the `Builder`.
As `Server` is just a `Future`, it no longer owns a thread-blocking
executor, and can thus be run next to other servers, clients, or
what-have-you.
Closes#1322Closes#1263
BREAKING CHANGE: The `Server` is no longer created from `Http::bind`,
nor is it `run`. It is a `Future` that must be polled by an
`Executor`.
The `hyper::server::Http` type has move to
`hyper::server::conn::Http`.
**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!
Closes#1128Closes#1130Closes#1431Closes#1338
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.
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.
