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/S client and HTTP server which can be used to drive complex web applications written entirely in Rust.

The documentation is located at http://hyperium.github.io/hyper.

WARNING: Hyper is still under active development. The API is still changing in non-backwards-compatible ways without warning.

Example

Hello World Server:

extern crate hyper;

use hyper::status::StatusCode;
use hyper::server::Server;
use hyper::server::request::Request;
use hyper::server::response::Response;
use hyper::net::Fresh;
use hyper::IpAddr::Ipv4Addr;

fn hello(_: Request, mut res: Response<Fresh>) {
    let mut res = res.start().unwrap();
    res.write_all(b"Hello World!").unwrap();
    res.end().unwrap();
}

fn main() {
    let server = Server::http(Ipv4Addr(127, 0, 0, 1), 1337);
    server.listen(hello).unwrap();
}

Client:

extern crate hyper;

use hyper::client::Client;
use hyper::header::Connection;
use hyper::header::ConnectionOption;

fn main() {
    // Create a client.
    let mut client = Client::new();

    // Creating an outgoing request.
    let mut res = client.get("http://www.gooogle.com/")
        // set a header
        .header(Connection(vec![ConnectionOption::Close]))
        // let 'er go!
        .send().unwrap();

    // Read the Response.
    let body = res.read_to_string().unwrap();

    println!("Response: {}", body);
}
