Not handling this was an issue for keep-alive connections because requests would get assigned to a closed connection and then immediately error. Handling the HUP event makes this situation much less likely. It is still possible however; consider the situation where a HUP arrives while the event loop is busy processing new requests to add. The connection is disconnected, but the HUP hasn't been processed, and a request could be assigned to it. This case is, however, unlikely.
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.
Be aware that hyper is still actively evolving towards 1.0, and is likely to experience breaking changes before stabilising. The current area of change is the movement towards async IO and refining the design around that. You can also see the 1.0 issue milestone.
