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.
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.)
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
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
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.
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.
