make a http request with a custom method in rust

You can make an HTTP request with a custom method in Rust using either the hyper or reqwest libraries.

Using hyper

Here's an example of making an HTTP request with a custom method using hyper:


main.rs
use hyper::{Body, Client, Method, Request};
use std::error::Error;

async fn make_request() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let request = Request::builder()
        .method(Method::from_bytes(b"PROPFIND").unwrap())
        .uri("https://example.com/my-resource")
        .body(Body::empty())
        .unwrap();
        
    let client = Client::new();
    let response = client.request(request).await?;
    
    // Handle the response.
    // ...
    
    Ok(())
}

In this example, we create a Request object with a custom PROPFIND HTTP method, set the request URI, and set an empty request body. We then use a Client object from the hyper library to make the request, which returns a Response object that we can handle as needed.

Using reqwest

Here's an example of making an HTTP request with a custom method using the reqwest library:


main.rs
use reqwest::{Client, Result};
use std::error::Error;

async fn make_request() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
    let client = Client::new();
    let response = client
        .request(http::Method::PROPFIND, "https://example.com/my-resource")
        .send()
        .await?;
    
    // Handle the response.
    // ...
    
    Ok(())
}
340 chars
16 lines

In this example, we create a Client object from the reqwest library and use its request method to make the HTTP request with the custom PROPFIND method. We pass the request URI as a string and use the send method to send the request and get the response, which can be handled as needed.
