- 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.)
Instead, you can use an instance of a NetworkConnector with
`Request::with_connector`. This allows overloading of the NetworkStream
constructors, so that it is easy to modify how an `HttpStream` is
created, while still relying on the rest of the stream implementation.
BREAKING CHANGE
Internals have been shuffled around such that Request and Reponse are
now given only a mutable reference to the stream, instead of being
allowed to consume it. This allows the server to re-use the streams if
keep-alive is true.
A task pool is used, and the number of the threads can currently be
adjusted by using the `listen_threads()` method on Server.
[breaking-change]
Also adds an EmptyWriter, used for GET and HEAD requests,
which will return an io::ShortWrite error if the user ever tries
to write to a GET or HEAD request.
Closes#77
Server and client benchmarks show that this makes very little difference
in performance and using dynamic dispatch here is significantly more ergonomic.
This also bounds NetworkStream with Send to prevent incorrect implementations.
Allows the implementation of mock streams for testing and flexibility.
Fixes#5
This introduces a new Trait, NetworkStream, which abstracts over
the functionality provided by TcpStream so that it can be easily
mocked and extended in testing and hyper can be used for
other connection sources.
