This crate simply re-exports other smaller async crates (see the source). To use tokio-based libraries with smol, apply the [`async-compat`] adapter to futures and I/O types. See the [`smol-macros`] crate if you want a no proc-macro, fast compiling, easy-to-use async main and/or multi-threaded Executor setup out of the box. ## Examples Connect to an HTTP website, make a GET request, and pipe the response to the standard output: ```rust,no_run use smol::{io, net, prelude::*, Unblock}; fn main() -> io::Result<()> { smol::block_on(async { let mut stream = net::TcpStream::connect("example.com:80").await?; let req = b"GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: example.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n"; stream.write_all(req).await?; let mut stdout = Unblock::new(std::io::stdout()); io::copy(stream, &mut stdout).await?; Ok(()) }) } ``` There's a lot more in the [examples] directory.

The repository contains a self-signed certificate usable for testing, but it should **not** be used for real-world scenarios. Browsers and tools like curl will show this certificate as insecure. In browsers, accept the security prompt or use `curl -k` on the command line to bypass security warnings. The certificate file was generated using [minica](https://github.com/jsha/minica) and [openssl](https://www.openssl.org/): ```text minica --domains localhost -ip-addresses 127.0.0.1 -ca-cert certificate.pem openssl pkcs12 -export -out identity.pfx -inkey localhost/key.pem -in localhost/cert.pem ``` Another useful tool for making certificates is [mkcert].

As a **tentative** policy, the MSRV will not advance past the [current Rust version provided by Debian Stable](https://packages.debian.org/stable/rust/rustc). At the time of writing, this version of Rust is *1.63*. However, the MSRV may be advanced further in the event of a major ecosystem shift or a security vulnerability. ## License Licensed under either of * Apache License, Version 2.0 ([LICENSE-APACHE](LICENSE-APACHE) or http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) * MIT license ([LICENSE-MIT](LICENSE-MIT) or http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) at your option. #### Contribution Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the work by you, as defined in the Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any additional terms or conditions.
