Crate awc

awc is a HTTP and WebSocket client library built on the Actix ecosystem.

Making a GET request

let mut client = awc::Client::default();
let response = client.get("http://www.rust-lang.org") // <- Create request builder
    .header("User-Agent", "Actix-web")
    .send()                                            // <- Send http request
    .await?;

 println!("Response: {:?}", response);

Making POST requests

Raw body contents

let mut client = awc::Client::default();
let response = client.post("http://httpbin.org/post")
    .send_body("Raw body contents")
    .await?;

Forms

let params = [("foo", "bar"), ("baz", "quux")];

let mut client = awc::Client::default();
let response = client.post("http://httpbin.org/post")
    .send_form(&params)
    .await?;

JSON

let request = serde_json::json!({
    "lang": "rust",
    "body": "json"
});

let mut client = awc::Client::default();
let response = client.post("http://httpbin.org/post")
    .send_json(&request)
    .await?;

WebSocket support

use futures_util::{sink::SinkExt, stream::StreamExt};
let (_resp, mut connection) = awc::Client::new()
    .ws("ws://echo.websocket.org")
    .connect()
    .await?;

connection
    .send(awc::ws::Message::Text("Echo".to_string()))
    .await?;
let response = connection.next().await.unwrap()?;

Structs

BoxedSocket
Client	An asynchronous HTTP and WebSocket client.
ClientBuilder	An HTTP Client builder
ClientRequest	An HTTP Client request builder
ClientResponse	Client Response
Connector	Manages http client network connectivity The Connector type uses a builder-like combinator pattern for service construction that finishes by calling the .finish() method.
FrozenClientRequest	FrozenClientRequest struct represents clonable client request. It could be used to send same request multiple times.
FrozenSendBuilder	Builder that allows to modify extra headers.
JsonBody	Response's payload json parser, it resolves to a deserialized T value.
MessageBody	Future that resolves to a complete http message body.

Enums

SendClientRequest

Future that sends request's payload and resolves to a server response.
