Struct reqwest::Body [] [src]

pub struct Body { /* fields omitted */ }

The body of a Request.

In most cases, this is not needed directly, as the RequestBuilder.body method uses Into<Body>, which allows passing many things (like a string or vector of bytes).

Methods

impl Body
[src]

Instantiate a Body from a reader.

Note

While allowing for many types to be used, these bodies do not have a way to reset to the beginning and be reused. This means that when encountering a 307 or 308 status code, instead of repeating the request at the new location, the Response will be returned with the redirect status code set.

let file = File::open("national_secrets.txt")?;
let body = Body::new(file);

If you have a set of bytes, like String or Vec<u8>, using the From implementations for Body will store the data in a manner it can be reused.

let s = "A stringy body";
let body = Body::from(s);

Create a Body from a Read where the size is known in advance advance, but the data should not be loaded in full to memory. This will set the Content-Length header, and stream from the Read.

let file = File::open("a_large_file.txt")?;
let file_size = file.metadata()?.len();
let body = Body::sized(file, file_size);
