Struct Request 

pub struct Request<T> { /* private fields */ }

Represents an HTTP request.

An HTTP request consists of a head and a potentially optional body. The body component is generic, enabling arbitrary types to represent the HTTP body. For example, the body could be Vec<u8>, a Stream of byte chunks, or a value that has been deserialized.

Examples

Creating a Request to send

use http::{Request, Response};

let mut request = Request::builder()
    .uri("https://www.rust-lang.org/")
    .header("User-Agent", "my-awesome-agent/1.0");

if needs_awesome_header() {
    request = request.header("Awesome", "yes");
}

let response = send(request.body(()).unwrap());

fn send(req: Request<()>) -> Response<()> {
    // ...
}

Inspecting a request to see what was sent.

use http::{Request, Response, StatusCode};

fn respond_to(req: Request<()>) -> http::Result<Response<()>> {
    if req.uri() != "/awesome-url" {
        return Response::builder()
            .status(StatusCode::NOT_FOUND)
            .body(())
    }

    let has_awesome_header = req.headers().contains_key("Awesome");
    let body = req.body();

    // ...
}

Deserialize a request of bytes via json:

use http::Request;
use serde::de;

fn deserialize<T>(req: Request<Vec<u8>>) -> serde_json::Result<Request<T>>
    where for<'de> T: de::Deserialize<'de>,
{
    let (parts, body) = req.into_parts();
    let body = serde_json::from_slice(&body)?;
    Ok(Request::from_parts(parts, body))
}

Or alternatively, serialize the body of a request to json

use http::Request;
use serde::ser;

fn serialize<T>(req: Request<T>) -> serde_json::Result<Request<Vec<u8>>>
    where T: ser::Serialize,
{
    let (parts, body) = req.into_parts();
    let body = serde_json::to_vec(&body)?;
    Ok(Request::from_parts(parts, body))
}

impl<S, B> Service<Request<B>> for CompiledRouter<S>

where S: Clone + Send + Sync + 'static, B: Body<Data = Bytes> + Send + 'static, B::Error: Into<Error>,

Lets a compiled router be driven directly as a tower::Service — the idiomatic Axum testing pattern (app.oneshot(request).await, via tower::ServiceExt) works unchanged against a CompiledRouter, and a CompiledRouter can be handed to any other Tower/Hyper API expecting a Service<Request<B>>.

Unlike Axum (which only implements this for Router<()>, since a Router<S> for S != () hasn’t been given its state yet), this is implemented for CompiledRouter<S> for any state type: a compiled router is always fully self-contained (its state was bound at compile() time), so there’s no equivalent “not runnable yet” state to restrict this to.

type Response = Response<Body>

Responses given by the service.

type Error = Infallible

Errors produced by the service.

type Future = Pin<Box<dyn Future<Output = Result<<CompiledRouter<S> as Service<Request<B>>>::Response, <CompiledRouter<S> as Service<Request<B>>>::Error>> + Send>>

fn poll_ready(&mut self, _cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Result<(), Self::Error>>

Returns Poll::Ready(Ok(())) when the service is able to process requests.

fn call(&mut self, req: Request<B>) -> Self::Future

Process the request and return the response asynchronously.

impl<B> Service<Request<B>> for Router<()>

where B: Body<Data = Bytes> + Send + 'static, B::Error: Into<Error>,

Lets an uncompiled, stateless crate::routing::Router be driven directly as a tower::Service — e.g. Router::new().route(...).oneshot(req) — with no separate .compile() call, matching axum::Router’s drop-in ergonomics exactly: build with .route()/.nest()/.merge()/.hoop()/ etc., then hand the same value straight to .oneshot(), a tower server, or anything else expecting a Service.

Internally this compiles the matchit route tree once, the first time call() runs, and caches the result in Router’s private compiled field — every builder method that mutates the route table resets that cache, so it’s impossible to silently dispatch against a stale tree. Every call after the first is exactly as cheap as calling the already-CompiledRouter directly; the split from axum::Router (which has no separate compiled form at all) is now purely internal.

Deliberately restricted to Router<()>, matching Axum exactly (Axum only implements Service for Router<()> too — a Router<S> for S != () hasn’t been given its state yet, so there’s nothing meaningful to serve). This is what makes plain Router::new().route(...).oneshot(req) type-check with no turbofish: Service has exactly one impl to unify against, same as in Axum. A router built with real shared state (State<T> extractors) still needs .with_state(actual_state) first, same as Axum — at that point it’s already a Router<()> too. For testing a still-generic Router<S>/CompiledRouter<S> for S != () directly, use CompiledRouter’s broader impl above via an explicit .compile().
