A Modern HTTP library for Rust.
[Documentation](http://hyperium.github.io/hyper)
## Overview
Hyper is a fast, modern HTTP implementation written in and for Rust. It
is a low-level typesafe abstraction over raw HTTP, providing an elegant
layer over "stringly-typed" HTTP.
Hyper offers both an HTTP/S client and HTTP server which can be used to drive
complex web applications written entirely in Rust.
The documentation is located at [http://hyperium.github.io/hyper](http://hyperium.github.io/hyper).
## Example
Hello World Server:
```rust
extern crate hyper;
use std::io::Write;
use hyper::Server;
use hyper::server::Request;
use hyper::server::Response;
use hyper::net::Fresh;
fn hello(_: Request, res: Response<Fresh>) {
let mut res = res.start().unwrap();
res.write_all(b"Hello World!").unwrap();
res.end().unwrap();
}
fn main() {
Server::http(hello).listen("127.0.0.1:3000").unwrap();
}
```
Client:
```rust
extern crate hyper;
use std::io::Read;
use hyper::Client;
use hyper::header::Connection;
fn main() {
// Create a client.
let mut client = Client::new();
// Creating an outgoing request.
let mut res = client.get("http://www.gooogle.com/")
// set a header
.header(Connection::close())
// let 'er go!
.send().unwrap();
// Read the Response.
let mut body = String::new();
res.read_to_string(&mut body).unwrap();
println!("Response: {}", body);
}
```
