Surf
Surf the web
### Surf the web - HTTP client framework
Surf is a Rust HTTP client built for ease-of-use and multi-HTTP-backend flexibility.
Whether it's a quick script, or a cross-platform SDK, Surf will make it work.- Extensible through a powerful middleware system
- Multiple HTTP back-ends that can be chosen
- Reuses connections through a configurable `Client` interface
- Fully streaming requests and responses
- TLS enabled by default (native tls or rustls)
- Built on async-std (with optional tokio support)## Examples
```rust
let mut res = surf::get("https://httpbin.org/get").await?;
dbg!(res.body_string().await?);
```It's also possible to skip the intermediate `Response`, and access the response type directly.
```rust
dbg!(surf::get("https://httpbin.org/get").recv_string().await?);
```Both sending and receiving JSON is real easy too.
```rust
#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]
struct Ip {
ip: String
}let uri = "https://httpbin.org/post";
let data = &Ip { ip: "129.0.0.1".into() };
let res = surf::post(uri).body_json(data)?.await?;
assert_eq!(res.status(), 200);let uri = "https://api.ipify.org?format=json";
let Ip { ip } = surf::get(uri).recv_json().await?;
assert!(ip.len() > 10);
```And even creating streaming proxies is no trouble at all.
```rust
let req = surf::get("https://img.fyi/q6YvNqP").await?;
let body = surf::http::Body::from_reader(req, None);
let res = surf::post("https://box.rs/upload").body(body).await?;
```Setting configuration on a client is also straightforward.
```rust
use std::convert::TryInto;
use std::time::Duration;
use surf::{Client, Config};
use surf::Url;let client: Client = Config::new()
.set_base_url(Url::parse("http://example.org")?)
.set_timeout(Some(Duration::from_secs(5)))
.try_into()?;let mut res = client.get("/").await?;
println!("{}", res.body_string().await?);
```## Features
The following features are available. The default features are
`curl-client`, `middleware-logger`, and `encoding`
- __`curl-client` (default):__ use `curl` (through `isahc`) as the HTTP backend.
- __`h1-client`:__ use `async-h1` as the HTTP backend with native TLS for HTTPS.
- __`h1-client-rustls`:__ use `async-h1` as the HTTP backend with `rustls` for HTTPS.
- __`hyper-client`:__ use `hyper` (hyper.rs) as the HTTP backend.
- __`wasm-client`:__ use `window.fetch` as the HTTP backend.
- __`middleware-logger` (default):__ enables logging requests and responses using a middleware.
- __`encoding` (default):__ enables support for body encodings other than utf-8.## Installation
Install OpenSSL -
- Ubuntu - ``` sudo apt install libssl-dev ```
- Fedora - ``` sudo dnf install openssl-devel ```Make sure your rust is up to date using:
``` rustup update ```With [cargo add](https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit#Installation) installed :
```sh
$ cargo add surf
```## Safety
This crate makes use of a single instance of `unsafe` in order to make the WASM
backend work despite the `Send` bounds. This is safe because WASM targets
currently have no access to threads. Once they do we'll be able to drop this
implementation, and use a parked thread instead and move to full multi-threading
in the process too.## Contributing
