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:
use bytes::Bytes;
use http;
use wasi_experimental_http;
#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn _start() {
let url = "https://postman-echo.com/post".to_string();
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):
