Type Definition aitch::BodyStream

type BodyStream = Box<Stream<Item = Bytes, Error = Error> + Send>;

A streaming body, which can be used in a HTTP request or response.

This is a simple type alias for a boxed futures::Stream, which yields chunks of bytes::Bytes, representing a streaming HTTP request/response's body.

All types that can be used as a HTTP request/response's body in aitch handlers can be converted to/from this type using the Body trait.

Most applications will not need to use this type directly, but will instead make use of it through the types for which Body is implemented (such as (), String, Vec<u8>).

Trait Implementations

impl Body for BodyStream

type Future = FutureResult<BodyStream, Error>

fn from_stream(stream: BodyStream) -> Self::Future

Consume a [BodyStream] and return a future which resolves to Self.

fn into_stream(self) -> BodyStream

Consume Self and returns a [BodyStream].

fn into_body<OtherBody: Body>(self) -> OtherBody::Future

Convenience function to convert from one type implementing Body to another.

impl Handler<BodyStream> for SimpleRouter

type Resp = BoxedResponse

The Responder type returned by this Handler.

fn handle(     &self,     req: Request<BodyStream>,     resp: ResponseBuilder ) -> BoxedResponse

Handles an incoming HTTP request, returning a Responder describing a HTTP response.
