nano-get

A very tiny & basic implementation of HTTP GET using only the standard library by default.

If you require https, please enable the "https" feature flag like:

nano-get = { version = "0.2.0", features = ["https"] }

The OpenSSL Crate assumes that you have OpenSSL in your environment.

Please note that this is not the best or most efficient implementation of the HTTP GET. The whole purpose is to have a basic functioning HTTP GET implementation and avoid having to import a gazzilion other packages, when all you want is a regular GET method for something simple.

I would go further and advice NOT to use this in a production environment.

More features might be added later, with the primary goal being to reduce the final binary size by not having (possible any) dependencies other than what is in the standard library.

So Async, manual headers, more fine grained control of the request/response, will all come later(hopefully).

Feature Flags

• https : This enables https based on the Rust openssl crate

Example Usages

extern crate nano_get;
use nano_get::get;

fn main() {
    let response = get("http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees");
    println!("{}", response);
}

An example with the https feature flag enabled:

extern crate nano_get;
use nano_get::get;

fn main() {
    let response = get("https://google.com");
    println!("{}", response);
}
