httimple.rs

Simple HTTP 2.0 library for building APIs

Introduction

Httiple aims to make HTTP/2 over TLS in rust simple. It adopts a Express-like interface.

Implemented

• A basic implementation of the h2 standard.
• A per stream state based handler.
• Different methods

Working on

• Making the implementation of HTTP/2 work in all browsers (currently only working in chrome)
• Fix TLS errors (Don't know if this is my fault of rustls)
• Implement the missing frametypes.
• Add support for priority.
• Make the callback a future.
• Implement a propper hpack lib in rust (the one used currently seems a bit broken)
• Serving static files (started, but currently impossible to make multiple requests)

Get started

1. Install Rust.

2. Create the project.

cargo new myserver 

3. Add required files.

Add an index.html and a certificate in the main folder. Name the certificate folder "ca".

4. Add depencies

Add this to your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
httimple = "*"

5. Write the code

Make a file containing this and name it main.rs.

extern crate httimple;

use httimple::app::App;

use httimple::app::message::Message;
use httimple::app::call::Call;

use httimple::helpers::file;


fn main() {
    let mut app = App::new();
    app.serve("/", | call: &Call | -> Message {
        Message::from(file("index.html"))
    });
    app.start();
}

6. Run the code

cargo run --release
