General-purpose HTTP types and builders — requests, responses, headers, status codes — line-by-line transliteration of upstream crate with provenance headers and idiom mapping for parity.
This is a Kotlin Multiplatform line-by-line transliteration port of hyperium/http.
Original Project: This port is based on hyperium/http. All design credit and project intent belong to the upstream authors; this repository is a faithful port to Kotlin Multiplatform with no behavioural changes intended.
The upstream README and license text are treated as upstream-authored source documents. This repository adds Kotlin-port wrapper sections, absolute-link edits, and port-specific notices while keeping upstream authorship attached to the original text.
This is an in-progress port. The goal is feature parity with the upstream Rust crate while providing a native Kotlin Multiplatform API. Every Kotlin file carries a // port-lint: source <path> header naming its upstream Rust counterpart so the AST-distance tool can track provenance.
hyperium/httpThe text below is reproduced and lightly edited from
https://github.com/hyperium/http. It is the upstream project's own description and remains under the upstream authors' authorship; links have been rewritten to absolute upstream URLs so they continue to resolve from this repository.
A general purpose library of common HTTP types
More information about this crate can be found in the crate documentation.
To use http, first add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
http = "1.0"
Next, add this to your crate:
use http::{Request, Response};
fn main() {
// ...
}
Create an HTTP request:
use http::Request;
fn main() {
let request = Request::builder()
.uri("https://www.rust-lang.org/")
.header("User-Agent", "awesome/1.0")
.body(())
.unwrap();
}
Create an HTTP response:
use http::{Response, StatusCode};
fn main() {
let response = Response::builder()
.status(StatusCode::MOVED_PERMANENTLY)
.header("Location", "https://www.rust-lang.org/install.html")
.body(())
.unwrap();
}
This project follows the hyper's MSRV policy, though it can be lower, and is currently set to 1.57.
