Iroh HTTP/3 Client

iroh-h3-client is a Rust library for building and sending HTTP/3 requests using the QUIC-based HTTP/3 protocol over Iroh. It provides a high-level, ergonomic API for constructing requests, managing state, and receiving responses asynchronously.

Features

• HTTP/3 Requests: Build requests with custom headers, extensions, and bodies.
• Connection Reuse: Connections are automatically reused across multiple requests to the same server, improving performance.
• Flexible Body Types: Send plain text, binary data, or JSON-serialized payloads.
• Streaming Responses: Read response bodies incrementally without buffering the entire content.
• Full Body Consumption: Convenient methods to read response bodies as Bytes or String.
• JSON Integration: (Optional) Serialize request bodies and deserialize response bodies using serde.
• Server-Sent Events (SSE): Native support for consuming real-time event streams.
• Middleware & Interceptors: Inject custom logic to modify requests and responses in the lifecycle.
• Redirect Handling: Automatic support for following HTTP redirect jumps.
• Cookie Jar: Stateful cookie management for handling sessions across requests.

Optional Features

• json: Enables RequestBuilder::json and Response::json for working with JSON payloads.

Error Handling

All operations return a crate-specific Error type that represents connection, stream, serialization, or protocol-level errors.
