Enum hyper::http::HttpReader [-] [+] [src]

pub enum HttpReader<R> {
    SizedReader(R, u64),
    ChunkedReader(R, Option<u64>),
    EofReader(R),
    EmptyReader(R),
}

Readers to handle different Transfer-Encodings.

If a message body does not include a Transfer-Encoding, it should include a Content-Length header.

Variants

`SizedReader`	A Reader used when a Content-Length header is passed with a positive integer.
`ChunkedReader`	A Reader used when Transfer-Encoding is `chunked`.
`EofReader`	A Reader used for responses that don't indicate a length or chunked. Note: This should only used for `Response`s. It is illegal for a `Request` to be made with both `Content-Length` and `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` missing, as explained from the spec: If a Transfer-Encoding header field is present in a response and the chunked transfer coding is not the final encoding, the message body length is determined by reading the connection until it is closed by the server. If a Transfer-Encoding header field is present in a request and the chunked transfer coding is not the final encoding, the message body length cannot be determined reliably; the server MUST respond with the 400 (Bad Request) status code and then close the connection.
`EmptyReader`	A Reader used for messages that should never have a body. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7230#section-3.3.3

Unwraps this HttpReader and returns the underlying Reader.
