Crate attohttpc

This project's goal is to provide a lightweight and simple HTTP client for the Rust ecosystem. The intended use is for projects that have HTTP needs where performance is not critical or when HTTP is not the main purpose of the application. Note that the project still tries to perform well and avoid allocation where possible, but stays away from Rust's asynchronous stack to provide a crate that's as small as possible. Features are provided behind feature flags when possible to allow users to get just what they need.

Quick usage

let obj = json!({
    "hello": "world",
});

let (status, headers, reader) = attohttpc::post("https://my-api.org/do/something")
    .header("X-My-Header", "foo")   // set a header for the request
    .param("qux", "baz")            // set a query parameter
    .json(&obj)?                    // set the request body
    .send()?;                       // send the request

// Check if the status is a 2XX code.
if status.is_success() {
    // Consume the response body as text and print it.
    println!("{}", reader.text()?);
}

Features

• charsets support for decoding more text encodings than just UTF-8
• compress support for decompressing response bodies (default)
• json support for serialization and deserialization
• tls support for tls connections (default)

Re-exports

pub use crate::charsets::Charset;

Modules

charsets	This module is a clean re-export of the encoding_rs crate. You can probably find the charset you need in here.
header	This module is a re-export of the http crate's header module.

Structs

Method	The Request Method (VERB)
PreparedRequest	Represents a request that's ready to be sent. You can inspect this object for information about the request.
RequestBuilder	Request is the main way of performing requests.
Response	Response represents a response returned by a server.
ResponseReader	The ResponseReader is used to read the body of a response.
StatusCode	An HTTP status code (status-code in RFC 7230 et al.).
TextReader	TextReader converts bytes in a specific charset to bytes in UTF-8.

Enums

Error

Common errors that can occur during HTTP requests.

Functions

delete	Create a new RequestBuilder with the DELETE method.
get	Create a new RequestBuilder with the GET method.
head	Create a new RequestBuilder with the HEAD method.
options	Create a new RequestBuilder with the OPTIONS method.
patch	Create a new RequestBuilder with the PATCH method.
post	Create a new RequestBuilder with the POST method.
put	Create a new RequestBuilder with the PUT method.
trace	Create a new RequestBuilder with the TRACE method.
