bitreq - forked from minreq

This crate is a fork for the very nice minreq. I chose to fork and rename it because I wanted to totally gut it and provide a crate with different goals. Many thanks to the original author.

Simple, minimal-dependency HTTP client. Optional features for http proxies (proxy), async support (async, async-https), and https with various TLS implementations (https-rustls, https-rustls-probe, and https which is an alias for https-rustls).

Without any optional features, my casual testing indicates about 100 KB additional executable size for stripped release builds using this crate. Compiled with rustc 1.45.2, println!("Hello, World!"); is 239 KB on my machine, where the hello example is 347 KB. Both are pure Rust, so aside from libc, everything is statically linked.

Note: some of the dependencies of this crate (especially the various https libraries) are a lot more complicated than this library, and their impact on executable size reflects that.

Build your own with cargo doc --all-features, or browse the online documentation at docs.rs/bitreq.

Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)

If you don't care about the MSRV, you can ignore this section entirely, including the commands instructed.

We use an MSRV per major release, i.e., with a new major release we reserve the right to change the MSRV.

The current major version of this library should always compile with default features (i.e., std) on Rust 1.75. Other features may require a higher MSRV.
