scuffle-http

[!WARNING]
This crate is under active development and may not be stable.

An HTTP server with support for HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

It abstracts away hyper and h3 to provide a rather simple interface for creating and running a server that can handle all three protocols.

See the examples directory for usage examples.

Why do we need this?

This crate is designed to be a simple and easy to use HTTP server that supports HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

Currently, there are simply no other crates that provide support for all three protocols with a unified API. This crate aims to fill that gap.

Feature Flags

• tower: Enables support for tower services. Enabled by default.
• http1: Enables support for HTTP/1. Enabled by default.
• http2: Enables support for HTTP/2. Enabled by default.
• http3: Enables support for HTTP/3. Disabled by default.
• tracing: Enables logging with tracing. Disabled by default.
• tls-rustls: Enables support for TLS with rustls. Disabled by default.
• http3-tls-rustls: Enables both http3 and tls-rustls features. Disabled by default.

Example

The following example demonstrates how to create a simple HTTP server (without TLS) that responds with "Hello, world!" to all requests on port 3000.

let service = scuffle_http::service::fn_http_service(|req| async move {
    scuffle_http::Response::builder()
        .status(scuffle_http::http::StatusCode::OK)
        .header(scuffle_http::http::header::CONTENT_TYPE, "text/plain")
        .body("Hello, world!".to_string())
});
let service_factory = scuffle_http::service::service_clone_factory(service);

scuffle_http::HttpServer::builder()
    .service_factory(service_factory)
    .bind("[::]:3000".parse().unwrap())
    .build()
    .run()
    .await
    .expect("server failed");

Status

This crate is currently under development and is not yet stable.

Missing Features

• HTTP/3 webtransport support
• Upgrading to websocket connections from HTTP/3 connections (this is usually done via HTTP/1.1 anyway)
