Module hyper::client [−][src]
Expand description
HTTP Client
There are two levels of APIs provided for construct HTTP clients:
Client
The Client
is the main way to send HTTP requests to a server.
The default Client
provides these things on top of the lower-level API:
- A default connector, able to resolve hostnames and connect to destinations over plain-text TCP.
- A pool of existing connections, allowing better performance when making multiple requests to the same hostname.
- Automatic setting of the
Host
header, based on the requestUri
. - Automatic request retries when a pooled connection is closed by the server before any bytes have been written.
Many of these features can configured, by making use of
Client::builder
.
Example
For a small example program simply fetching a URL, take a look at the full client example.
use hyper::{body::HttpBody as _, Client, Uri};
let client = Client::new();
// Make a GET /ip to 'http://httpbin.org'
let res = client.get(Uri::from_static("http://httpbin.org/ip")).await?;
// And then, if the request gets a response...
println!("status: {}", res.status());
// Concatenate the body stream into a single buffer...
let buf = hyper::body::to_bytes(res).await?;
println!("body: {:?}", buf);
