wasi-experimental-http

Experimental HTTP library for WebAssembly

Using the crate

First, add this crate to your project. Then, it can be used to create and send an HTTP request to a server:

```rust use bytes::Bytes; use http; use wasiexperimentalhttp;

[no_mangle]

pub extern "C" fn start() { let url = "https://postman-echo.com/post".tostring(); let req = http::request::Builder::new() .method(http::Method::POST) .uri(&url) .header("Content-Type", "text/plain") .header("abc", "def"); let b = Bytes::from("Testing with a request body. Does this actually work?"); let req = req.body(Some(b)).unwrap();

let res = wasi_experimental_http::request(req).expect("cannot make request");
let str = std::str::from_utf8(&res.body_read_all()).unwrap().to_string();
println!("{:#?}", res.header_get("Content-Type"));
println!("{}", str);
println!("{:#?}", res.status_code);

} ```

Build the module using the wasm32-wasi target, then execute in a Wasmtime runtime that has the experimental HTTP functionality enabled (the crate to configure it can be found in this repo):
