High Performance HTTP Client — an ergonomic all-in-one HTTP client for browser emulation with TLS, JA3/JA4, and HTTP/2 fingerprints.

This is the core crate of the [hpx](https://github.com/longcipher/hpx) project.

## Features

- **Browser Emulation**: Simulate various browser TLS/HTTP2 fingerprints (JA3/JA4)
- **Content Handling**: Plain bodies, JSON, urlencoded, multipart, streaming
- **Cookies Store** with automatic cookie jar management
- **Redirect Policy** with configurable behaviors
- **Rotating Proxies** with SOCKS support
- **Certificate Store** management
- **Tower Middleware** support for extensibility
- **Request/Response Hooks** for lifecycle monitoring
- **Retry Configuration** with backoff strategies
- **Compression**: gzip, brotli, deflate, zstd
- **Character Encoding** support
- **WebSocket Upgrade** with switchable backends (yawc or fastwebsockets)
- **TLS Backends**: BoringSSL (default) and Rustls
- **HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2** support

## Quick Start

```rust
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> hpx::Result<()> {
    let body = hpx::get("https://www.rust-lang.org")
        .send()
        .await?
        .text()
        .await?;

    println!("body = {body:?}");
    Ok(())
}
```
