The Raw type repesents the raw bytes of a header-value. Having a special type allows a couple of benefits: - The exact representation has become private, allowing "uglier" internals. Specifically, since the common case is for a header to only have 1 line of bytes, an enum is used to skip allocating a Vec for only 1 line. Additionally, a Cow<'static, [u8]> is used, so static bytes don't require a copy. Finally, since we can use static bytes, when parsing, we can compare the incoming bytes against a couple of the most common header-values, and possibly remove another copy. - As its own type, the `Headers.set_raw` method can be generic over `Into<Raw>`, which allows for more ergnomic method calls. BREAKING CHANGE: `Header::parse_header` now receives `&Raw`, instead of a `&[Vec<u8>]`. `Raw` provides several methods to ease using it, but may require some changes to existing code.
hyper
A Modern HTTP library for Rust.
Documentation
Overview
hyper is a fast, modern HTTP implementation written in and for Rust. It is a low-level typesafe abstraction over raw HTTP, providing an elegant layer over "stringly-typed" HTTP.
Hyper offers both an HTTP client and server which can be used to drive complex web applications written entirely in Rust.
