Crate cabot

cabot

cabot is a command line tool and a rust library for sending HTTP query. It is a simple implementation of HTTP based on the rust standard library to perform TCP and DNS query, and use rustls for handling HTTPS connection. No tiers library are used for HTTP protocol.

cabot is inspired by the cURL command line tool, but focus on the http protocol which is the referent in HTTP client library.

Examples:

Command Line:

$ cabot https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/ | head -n 10 | grep "description"
<meta name="description" content="A systems programming language that runs
blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.">

Library:

use cabot::{RequestBuilder, Client};

let request = RequestBuilder::new("https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/")
    .build()
    .unwrap();
let client = Client::new();
let response = client.execute(&request).unwrap();
assert!(response.body_as_string().unwrap().contains("runs blazingly fast"));

Why cabot ?

To get a simple rust native https client. No binding to OpenSSL.
