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.
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`.
- 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.)
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
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.
