# edge-http
[](https://github.com/ivmarkov/edge-net/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

[](https://docs.rs/edge-net)
Async + `no_std` + no-alloc implementation of the HTTP protocol.
The implementation is based on the splendid [httparse](https://github.com/seanmonstar/httparse) library.
For other protocols, look at the [edge-net](https://github.com/ivmarkov/edge-net) aggregator crate documentation.
## Next steps
Optimize further the memory consumption of the generated futures:
* In particular, the `edge_http::io:::server::Server::run` future - with the defaults of 4 handlers and size for 64 headers in the request currently weights ~ **6 - 9KB**
* Moreover, *this is without the memory buffers that the `edge_http::io:::server::Server` needs to operate* - which - while already optimized - take another 2048 * 4 ~ **8KB** (but that's of course normal and to be accepted)

## Examples
### HTTP client
```rust
use core::net::SocketAddr;
use embedded_io_async::Read;
use edge_http::io::{client::Connection, Error};
use edge_http::Method;
use edge_nal::{AddrType, Dns, TcpConnect};
use log::*;
fn main() {
env_logger::init_from_env(
env_logger::Env::default().filter_or(env_logger::DEFAULT_FILTER_ENV, "info"),
);
let stack: edge_nal_std::Stack = Default::default();
let mut buf = [0_u8; 8192];
futures_lite::future::block_on(read(&stack, &mut buf)).unwrap();
}
async fn read<T: TcpConnect + Dns>(
stack: &T,
buf: &mut [u8],
) -> Result<(), Error<<T as TcpConnect>::Error>>
where
<T as Dns>::Error: Into<<T as TcpConnect>::Error>,
{
info!("About to open an HTTP connection to httpbin.org port 80");
let ip = stack
.get_host_by_name("httpbin.org", AddrType::IPv4)
.await
.map_err(|e| Error::Io(e.into()))?;
let mut conn: Connection<_> = Connection::new(buf, stack, SocketAddr::new(ip, 80));
for uri in ["/ip", "/headers"] {
request(&mut conn, uri).await?;
}
Ok(())
}
async fn request<const N: usize, T: TcpConnect>(
conn: &mut Connection<'_, T, N>,
uri: &str,
) -> Result<(), Error<T::Error>> {
conn.initiate_request(true, Method::Get, uri, &[("Host", "httpbin.org")])
.await?;
conn.initiate_response().await?;
let mut result = Vec::new();
let mut buf = [0_u8; 1024];
loop {
let len = conn.read(&mut buf).await?;
if len > 0 {
result.extend_from_slice(&buf[0..len]);
} else {
break;
}
}
info!(
"Request to httpbin.org, URI \"{}\" returned:\nBody:\n=================\n{}\n=================\n\n\n\n",
uri,
core::str::from_utf8(&result).unwrap());
Ok(())
}
```
### HTTP server
```rust
use core::fmt::{Debug, Display};
use edge_http::io::server::{Connection, DefaultServer, Handler};
use edge_http::io::Error;
use edge_http::Method;
use edge_nal::TcpBind;
use embedded_io_async::{Read, Write};
use log::info;
fn main() {
env_logger::init_from_env(
env_logger::Env::default().filter_or(env_logger::DEFAULT_FILTER_ENV, "info"),
);
let mut server = DefaultServer::new();
futures_lite::future::block_on(run(&mut server)).unwrap();
}
pub async fn run(server: &mut DefaultServer) -> Result<(), anyhow::Error> {
let addr = "0.0.0.0:8881";
info!("Running HTTP server on {addr}");
let acceptor = edge_nal_std::Stack::new()
.bind(addr.parse().unwrap())
.await?;
server.run(None, acceptor, HttpHandler).await?;
Ok(())
}
struct HttpHandler;
impl Handler for HttpHandler {
type Error<E>
= Error<E>
where
E: Debug;
async fn handle<T, const N: usize>(
&self,
_task_id: impl Display + Copy,
conn: &mut Connection<'_, T, N>,
) -> Result<(), Self::Error<T::Error>>
where
T: Read + Write,
{
let headers = conn.headers()?;
if headers.method != Method::Get {
conn.initiate_response(405, Some("Method Not Allowed"), &[])
.await?;
} else if headers.path != "/" {
conn.initiate_response(404, Some("Not Found"), &[]).await?;
} else {
conn.initiate_response(200, Some("OK"), &[("Content-Type", "text/plain")])
.await?;
conn.write_all(b"Hello world!").await?;
}
Ok(())
}
}
```
