Async::HTTP

An asynchronous client and server implementation of HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 including TLS. Support for streaming requests and responses. Built on top of async, io-endpoint and io-stream. falcon provides a rack-compatible server.

Usage

Please see the project documentation for more details.

• Getting Started - This guide explains how to get started with Async::HTTP.

• Testing - This guide explains how to use Async::HTTP clients and servers in your tests.

Releases

Please see the project releases for all releases.

v0.94.3

• Fix response body leak in HTTP/2 server when stream is reset before send_response completes (e.g. client-side gRPC cancellation). The response body's close was never called, leaking any resources tied to body lifecycle (such as rack.response_finished callbacks and utilization metrics).

v0.94.1

• Fix defer_stop usage in HTTP1::Server, improving server graceful shutdown behavior.

v0.94.0

• Propagate all errors from background reader to active streams so that they are closed correctly (e.g. errors are not missed).

v0.92.2

• Better handling of trailers. If invalid trailers are received, the connection (HTTP/1) or stream (HTTP/2) is reset.

v0.92.0

• Breaking: Remove Async::HTTP::Reference. Use Protocol::URL::Reference directly instead.

v0.91.0

• Move all default trace providers into traces/provider/async/http.

v0.90.2

• Don't emit resource: keyword argument in traces - it's unsupported by OpenTelemetry.

v0.88.0

• Support custom protocols with options

v0.87.0

• Unify HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 CONNECT semantics

v0.86.0

• Add support for HTTP/2 NO_RFC7540_PRIORITIES. See https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9218.html for more details.
