An HTTP server with support for HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

It abstracts away hyper and h3 to provide a rather simple interface for creating and running a server that can handle all three protocols.

See the examples directory for usage examples.

See the changelog for a full release history.

Why do we need this?

This crate is designed to be a simple and easy to use HTTP server that supports HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

Currently, there are simply no other crates that provide support for all three protocols with a unified API. This crate aims to fill that gap.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a simple HTTP server (without TLS) that responds with “Hello, world!” to all requests on port 3000.

let service = scuffle_http::service::fn_http_service(|req| async move {
    scuffle_http::Response::builder()
        .status(scuffle_http::http::StatusCode::OK)
        .header(scuffle_http::http::header::CONTENT_TYPE, "text/plain")
        .body("Hello, world!".to_string())
});
let service_factory = scuffle_http::service::service_clone_factory(service);

scuffle_http::HttpServer::builder()
    .service_factory(service_factory)
    .bind("[::]:3000".parse().unwrap())
    .build()
    .run()
    .await
    .expect("server failed");

Missing Features

HTTP/3 webtransport support
Upgrading to websocket connections from HTTP/3 connections (this is usually done via HTTP/1.1 anyway)
