hyper
A Modern HTTP library for Rust.
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/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 std::io::Write;
use std::net::Ipv4Addr;
use hyper::Server;
use hyper::server::Request;
use hyper::server::Response;
use hyper::net::Fresh;
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() {
Server::http(hello).listen(Ipv4Addr::new(127, 0, 0, 1), 3000).unwrap();
}
Client:
extern crate hyper;
use std::io::Read;
use hyper::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 mut body = String::new();
res.read_to_string(&mut body).unwrap();
println!("Response: {}", body);
}
