Crate generic_async_http_client

Expand description

A generic async HTTP request create.

It is meant to be a thin wrapper around various HTTP clients and handles TLS, serialisation and parsing.

The main goal is to allow binaries (that pull in some libraries that make use of a HTTP client) to specify what implementation should be used.

And if there is a Proxy. If not specified auto detection is performed by looking at HTTP_PROXY.

You need to specify via features what crates are used to the actual work.

  • use_hyper (and tokio)
  • use_async_h1 (and async-std)

Without anything specified you will end up with No HTTP backend was selected.

If performing more than one HTTP Request you should favor the use of [Session] over Request.

Structs§

  • Body
    A Body for the Request. You will most likely use Request::body directly.
  • Error
    Backend specific error
  • HeaderName
    A HTTP Header Name
  • HeaderValue
    A HTTP Header Value
  • Request
    Builds a HTTP request, poll it to query
  • Response
