Struct LocalClient 

pub struct LocalClient { /* private fields */ }

A minimal client for the in-process LocalAPI HTTP server started alongside the loopback proxy — the Rust analog of what Go’s tsnet.Server.LocalClient() returns (a *local.Client wired to the node’s own LocalAPI).

Obtain one with Server::local_client. It authenticates every request with the loopback’s local_api_cred (HTTP Basic auth, empty username) and speaks plain HTTP to 127.0.0.1, so it is dependency-free (no hyper) and needs only the tsnet feature.

The fork’s Status is not a serde type, so status returns the server’s raw JSON bytes rather than a deserialized struct; for typed status prefer Server::status (the in-process path). For arbitrary endpoints use get.

Implementations

impl LocalClient

pub fn address(&self) -> SocketAddr

The 127.0.0.1:<port> address of the LocalAPI HTTP server this client talks to.

pub fn credential(&self) -> &str

The LocalAPI credential (HTTP Basic-auth password) this client sends.

pub async fn status(&self) -> Result<Vec<u8>, Error>

GET /localapi/v0/status — the node + peer status as raw JSON bytes (Go LocalClient().Status, over the loopback). Errors if the server answers non-200.

pub async fn get(&self, path: &str) -> Result<(u16, Vec<u8>), Error>

Perform an authenticated GET against an arbitrary LocalAPI path (e.g. "/localapi/v0/status"), returning (http_status_code, body_bytes).

The facade’s in-process server implements only GET /localapi/v0/status (unlike Go’s full localapi.Handler); any other path returns HTTP 404. Every request also automatically carries Go’s Sec-Tailscale: localapi anti-DNS-rebinding header alongside the credential.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for LocalClient

fn clone(&self) -> LocalClient

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for LocalClient

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Redacts cred — the LocalAPI Basic-auth password is a secret and must never reach {:?}/tracing output. Field names are preserved so the shape is still legible.
