conduit-hyper

This crate integrates a hyper 0.12 server with a conduit 0.8 application stack.

Error and Panic Handling

If the application handler returns an Err(_) the server will log the description via the log crate and then return a generic 500 status response.

If the handler panics, the default panic handler prints a message to stderr and the connnection is closed without sending a response. In the future, these panics will likely be turned into a generic 500 status response.

Request Processing

If the request includes a body, the entire body is buffered before the handler is dispatched on a thread. There is currently no restriction on the maximum body size so a client can consume large amounts of memory by sending a large body. Therefore it is recommended to use a reverse proxy which limits the maximum body size.

Header values that are not valid UTF-8 are replaced with an empty string.

conduit::Request

The following methods on the Request provided to the application have noteworthy behavior:

scheme always returns Http as https is not currently directly supported
remote_addr always returns 0.0.0.0:0
host returns an empty string if the Host header is not valid UTF-8

All other methods on Request should behave as expected.

TODO

Include the X-Request-Id header when logging an error
