Servlin

A modular HTTP server library in Rust.

Features

• forbid(unsafe_code)
• Threaded request handlers:
  FnOnce(Request) -> Response + 'static + Clone + Send + Sync
• Uses async code internally for excellent performance under load
• JSON
• Server-Sent Events (SSE)
• Saves large request bodies to temp files
• Sends 100-Continue
• Limits number of threads and connections
• Modular: roll your own logging, write custom versions of internal methods, etc.
• No macros or complicated type params
• Good test coverage (63%)

Limitations

• New, not proven in production.
• To do:
  • Request timeouts
  • chunked transfer-encoding for request bodies
  • gzip
  • brotli
  • TLS
  • automatically getting TLS certs via ACME
  • Drop idle connections when approaching connection limit.
  • Denial-of-Service mitigation: source throttling, minimum throughput
  • Complete functional test suite
  • Missing load tests
  • Disk space usage limits

Examples

Complete examples: examples/.

Simple example: ```rust use serde::Deserialize; use serdejson::json; use servlin::{ printlogresponse, socketaddr127001, HttpServerBuilder, Request, Response }; use servlin::reexport::{safinaexecutor, safinatimer}; use std::sync::Arc; use temp_dir::TempDir;

struct State {}

fn hello(_state: Arc, req: &Request) -> Result { #[derive(Deserialize)] struct Input { name: String, } let input: Input = req.json()?; Ok(Response::json(200, json!({"message": format!("Hello, {}!", input.name)})) .unwrap()) }

fn handle_req(state: Arc, req: &Request) -> Result { match (req.method(), req.url().path()) { ("GET", "/ping") => Ok(Response::text(200, "ok")), ("POST", "/hello") => hello(state, req), _ => Ok(Response::text(404, "Not found")), } }

let state = Arc::new(State {}); let requesthandler = move |req: Request| { printlogresponse(&req, handlereq(state, &req)) }; let cachedir = TempDir::new().unwrap(); safinatimer::starttimerthread(); let executor = safinaexecutor::Executor::new(1, 9).unwrap(); executor.blockon( HttpServerBuilder::new() .listenaddr(socketaddr127001(8009)) .maxconns(1000) .smallbodylen(64 * 1024) .receivelargebodies(cachedir.path()) .spawnandjoin(request_handler) ).unwrap(); ```
