ureq 0.1.0

Minimal HTTP request library
Documentation

ureq

Minimal request library in rust.

Usage

#[macro_use]
extern create ureq;

// sync post request of some json.
let resp = ureq::post("https://myapi.acme.com/ingest")
    .set("X-My-Header", "Secret")
    .send_json(json!({
        "name": "martin",
        "rust": true
    }));

// .ok() tells if response is 200-299.
assert!(resp.unwrap().ok());

Motivation

  • Minimal dependency tree
  • Obvious API

This library tries to provide a convenient request library with a minimal dependency tree and an obvious API. It is inspired by libraries like superagent and fetch API.

Sync (for now)

This library uses blocking socket reads and writes, for now. The async story in rust is in heavy development and when used currently pulls in a heavy dependency tree (tokio etc). Once more async support is in rust core and won't drag those dependencies, this library might change.

TODO

  • Forms with application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  • multipart/form-data
  • Connection reuse/keep-alive with pool
  • Expect 100-continue
  • Use rustls when ring v0.13 is released.
