Lib.rs

Minimal and simple HTTP(s) request library

Usage:

use mashrl::{HTTP, make_get_request};
use std::io::Read;

fn main() {
    let mut response = make_get_request("httpbin.org", "get", &HTTP::Headers::empty()).unwrap();

    eprintln!("Code {code}", code = response.code.0);

    for (key, value) in &response.headers {
        eprintln!("{key}: {value}");
    }

    let mut content = String::new();
    response.body.read_to_string(&mut content).unwrap();
    eprintln!("{content}");
}

Features

• Simple to use API
• Header creation and parsing API
• Chunked decoding
• Gzip decompression (under -F decompress)

Future

• Specify port (default to 443, the standard for internet traffic)
• Improvements to body handling (auto Content-Length header?)
• Tracing (under flag)?
• HTTPS under flag?
