# Simple HTTP Client in Rust with Error Handling

This repository contains a simple Rust program that demonstrates making an HTTP GET request using the `reqwest` crate, and handling potential errors using the `error_chain` crate.


## Features

 Makes a GET request to `http://httpbin.org/get`.

 Handles HTTP request errors and IO errors gracefully.

 Prints the status, headers, and body of the HTTP response.




## Prerequisites

 [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) (1.45.0 or later)




## Usage


1. Clone the repository:

    ```sh

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/rust-http-client.git

    cd rust-http-client

    ```

2. Build the project:

    ```sh

    cargo build

    ```

3. Run the project:

    ```sh

    cargo run

    ```

## Code Explanation


The code uses the `error_chain` crate to manage errors and the `reqwest` crate to perform HTTP requests.

### Dependencies


Add the following dependencies to your `Cargo.toml` file:


```toml

[dependencies]

reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["blocking"] }
