reqwest

Memory safe HTTP client

reqwest is the de-facto HTTP client for the Rust language, with batteries-included. In this project we will make many of its powerful features to be composable and reusable outside of reqwest. This includes converting its connection pool, proxying and redirection into middleware, and improving integration with existing middleware, such as retries. This ultimately enables two groups of people: some so they can use only the parts of reqwest they need. And others that want to use all of reqwest while inserting new middleware or customizing its default "stack".
