Hyper: https removed in 0.11 release?

[ThetaSinner]

I have my Cargo.toml set to always use the latest hyper so I'll be moving 0.11 from 0.10.12 as of last night. I was using both http and https in my project. However when I've come to look at the docs and guide I can't find any mention of how to implement https. Nor can I see any mention of support being dropped in the changelog for this version.

Any help would be appreciated, I need to be able to send access tokens over https which is obviously innapropriate over http.

You can use hyper-tls crate for the time being.

But unfortunately, it is not released to crates.io yet. So you need to use the git repository as the dependency.

Great, that'll work thanks.
I'm happy enough using the git repo for now.

Looks like it's published now https://crates.io/crates/hyper-tls

So now I got a question related to this story...

What are the differences between:

• hyper-tls
• hyper-native-tls
• hyper-openssl

I'm very confused as an user.

And which is the best SSL/TLS implementation to use now and in the (near) future??
I don't get it anymore.

As of today (note, this could change as time goes on, so Future User, check):

• hyper-tls provides an HttpsConnector that works with hyper v0.11, that uses native-tls internally.
• hyper-native-tls works with hyper v0.10, using native-tls.
• hyper-openssl works with hyper v0.10, using openssl.

hyper-tls could go away in the future, if there is no longer a need. For now, the need is because hyper v0.11 is super new, and the ecosystem hasn't had time to catch up yet.

All this said: you probably should just use reqwest instead of hyper directly, if you have need of an HTTP client. It will take care of this for you.

Ow thanks, I didn't know about reqwest. The better the abstraction the easier for everyone. From httparse to hyper, from hyper to reqwest. From reqwest to AI that will destroy earth.

It's taken me a while to get around to implementing this in my project. I hadn't looked closely enough at hyper-tls to notice that it works with client configuration.
I should have said in my original question that it's https on the server that I need.
