http_req

Simple and lightweight HTTP client with built-in HTTPS support.

• HTTP and HTTPS via rust-native-tls (or optionally rus-tls)
• Small binary size (0.7 MB for basic GET request in default configuration)
• Minimal amount of dependencies

Requirements

http_req by default uses rust-native-tls, which relies on TLS framework provided by OS on Windows and macOS, and OpenSSL on all other platforms. But it also supports rus-tls.

Example

Basic HTTP GET request

use http_req::request;

fn main() {
    let mut body = Vec::new(); //Container for body of a response.
    let res = request::get("https://doc.rust-lang.org/", &mut body).unwrap();

    println!("Status: {} {}", res.status_code(), res.reason());
}
