Simple, minimal-dependency HTTP client. Optional features for json
responses (json-using-serde), unicode domains (punycode), http
proxies (proxy), and https with various TLS implementations
(https-rustls, https-rustls-probe, https-bundled,
https-bundled-probe,https-native, and https which is an alias
for https-rustls).
Without any optional features, my casual testing indicates about 100
KB additional executable size for stripped release builds using this
crate. Compiled with rustc 1.45.2, println!("Hello, World!"); is 239
KB on my machine, where the hello example is 347
KB. Both are pure Rust, so aside from libc, everything is statically
linked.
Note: some of the dependencies of this crate (especially serde and
the various https libraries) are a lot more complicated than this
library, and their impact on executable size reflects that.
This is a list of features I'll implement once it gets long enough, or a severe enough issue is found that there's good reason to make a major version bump.
- Change the response/request structs to allow multiple headers with the same name.
- Set sane defaults for maximum header size and status line length. The ability to add maximums was added in response to #55, but defaults for the limits is a breaking change.
- Clearer error when making a request to an url that does not start
with
http://orhttps://. - Non-exhaustive error type?
