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/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 hyper::Server;
use hyper::server::Request;
use hyper::server::Response;
use hyper::net::Fresh;

fn hello(_: Request, 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("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);
}
