Struct idcurl::Request

pub struct Request<'body> { /* private fields */ }

Represent an unsent query.

Calling send actually makes the request.

Implementations

impl<'body> Request<'body>

pub fn new(method: Method, url: String) -> Request<'body>

Create a request for a specific HTTP method and Url

pub fn get(url: String) -> Self

create a GET request

You may then use the builder-pattern to configure the request and then call send() to begin it

pub fn post(url: String) -> Self

create a POST request

You should specify a payload to send with body() or set_body(), which will be read before the request turns into a Response.

pub fn put(url: String) -> Self

create a PUT request

You should specify a payload to send with body() or set_body(), which will be read before the request turns into a Response.

pub fn set_content_length(&mut self, l: u64)

set the HTTP Content-Length header

This is the number of bytes expected to be read by body().

If specified, the value is sent as the Content-Length header.

It does not matter to curl if you specify the wrong value, but the server may object.

pub fn content_length(self, l: u64) -> Self

set the HTTP Content-Length header

This is the number of bytes expected to be read by body().

If specified, the value is sent as the Content-Length header. Either way, curl will use Transfer-Encoding: chunked.

It does not matter to curl if you specify the wrong value, but the server may object.

pub fn set_header<K, V>(&mut self, k: K, v: V) where
    K: AsRef<[u8]>,
    V: AsRef<[u8]>, 

Add one HTTP header to the request.

Any values may be sent, even those that may be invalid according to the HTTP specification. You should prefer to use the Header constants in the idcurl::Header module.

pub fn header<K, V>(self, k: K, v: V) -> Self where
    K: AsRef<[u8]>,
    V: AsRef<[u8]>, 

pub fn set_body<R: 'body>(&mut self, r: R) where
    R: Read + 'body, 

Sets the reader which the payload to send is read from

The entire body is read before send() completes.

The body is not read for the GET and DELETE methods.

The specified body, if a reference, must outlive this Request.

pub fn body<'b, R: 'b>(self, r: R) -> Request<'b> where
    R: Read + 'b, 

Sets the reader which the payload to send is read from

The entire body is read before send() completes.

The body is not read for the GET and DELETE methods.

The returned Request has the lifetime of your Read, because the body you intend to send needs to outlive the Request. You can either give a reference with a reader (example: Cursor::new(&my_vector_object)) or you can give ownership (Cursor::new(owned_vector)).

pub fn send(self) -> Result<Response>

Make the HTTP request.

The configured request is sent along with its headers, then if specified, the body is sent if the Method is appropriate.

The function succeeds and you get a Response if the server could be contacted and an HTTP session was initiated.

You should then call Response::status().is_success() to check for an HTTP status code in the 200 range.

pub fn set_redirect_limit(&mut self, n: Option<usize>) -> &mut Self

sets the number of redirects that will be followed

The default is 10. An error will be returned if the number is exceeded.

Specify None to disable handling redirects. A redirect is not an error, instead you will get a Response for the redirect response.

pub fn redirect_limit(self, n: Option<usize>) -> Self

sets the number of redirects that will be followed

The default is 10. An error will be returned if the number is exceeded.

Specify None to disable handling redirects. A redirect is not an error, instead you will get a Response for the redirect response.
