HTTPageboy

Minimal HTTP server package for handling request/response transmission. Focuses only on transporting a well formed HTTP message; does not process or decide how the server behaves. Aspires to become runtime-agnostic, with minimal, solid, and flexible dependencies.

Example

The core logic resides in src/lib.rs.

See it working out of the box on this video

The following example is executable. Run cargo run to see the available variants and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:7878 in your browser.

A basic server setup:

#![cfg(feature = "async_tokio")]
use httpageboy::{Rt, Response, Server, StatusCode};

/// Minimal async handler: waits 100ms and replies "ok"
async fn demo(_req: &()) -> Response {
  tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_millis(100)).await;
  Response {
    status: StatusCode::Ok.to_string(),
    content_type: "text/plain".into(),
    content: b"ok".to_vec(),
  }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
  let mut srv = Server::new("127.0.0.1:7878", None).await.unwrap();
  srv.add_route("/", Rt::GET, handler!(demo));
  srv.run().await;
}

Testing

For synchronous tests:

cargo test --features sync --test test_sync

For asynchronous tests:

cargo test --features async_tokio --test test_async_tokio
cargo test --features async_std --test test_async_std
// or
cargo test --features async_smol --test test_async_smol

Examples

Additional examples can be found within the tests.
