# http_req
[](https://github.com/jayjamesjay/http_req/actions/workflows/rust.yml)
[](https://crates.io/crates/http_req)
[](https://docs.rs/http_req/0.10.3/http_req/)
Simple and lightweight HTTP client with built-in HTTPS support.
## Requirements
http_req by default uses [rust-native-tls](https://github.com/sfackler/rust-native-tls),
which relies on TLS framework provided by OS on Windows and macOS, and OpenSSL
on all other platforms. But it also supports [rus-tls](https://crates.io/crates/rustls).
## Example
Basic HTTP GET request
```rust
use http_req::request;
fn main() {
let mut body = Vec::new(); //Container for body of a response.
let res = request::get("https://doc.rust-lang.org/", &mut body).unwrap();
println!("Status: {} {}", res.status_code(), res.reason());
}
```

## How to use with `rustls`:
In order to use `http_req` with `rustls` in your project, add the following lines to `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
http_req = {version="^0.10", default-features = false, features = ["rust-tls"]}
```
