OxHTTP

OxHTTP is a simple and naive synchronous implementation of HTTP 1.1 in Rust. It provides both a client and a server. It does not aim to be a fully-working-in-all-cases HTTP implementation but to be only a naive one to be use in simple usecases.

Client

OxHTTP provides a client. It aims at following the basic concepts of the Web Fetch standard without the bits specific to web browsers (context, CORS...).

HTTPS is supported behind the disabled by default native-tls feature (to use the current system native implementation) or rustls feature (to use Rustls).

Example:

use oxhttp::Client;
use oxhttp::model::{Request, Method, Status, HeaderName};
use std::io::Read;

let client = Client::new();
let response = client.request(Request::builder(Method::GET, "http://example.com".parse().unwrap()).build()).unwrap();
assert_eq!(response.status(), Status::OK);
assert_eq!(response.header(&HeaderName::CONTENT_TYPE).unwrap().as_ref(), b"text/html; charset=UTF-8");

let body = response.into_body().to_string().unwrap();

Server

OxHTTP provides a threaded HTTP server. It is still a work in progress. Use at your own risks behind a reverse proxy!

Example:

use oxhttp::Server;
use oxhttp::model::{Response, Status};
use std::time::Duration;

// Builds a new server that returns a 404 everywhere except for "/" where it returns the body 'home'
let mut server = Server::new(|request| {
    if request.url().path() == "/" {
        Response::builder(Status::OK).with_body("home")
    } else {
        Response::builder(Status::NOT_FOUND).build()
    }
});
// Raise a timeout error if the client does not respond after 10s.
server.set_global_timeout(Duration::from_secs(10));
// Listen to localhost:8080
server.listen(("localhost", 8080)).unwrap();
