How do I parse an http request from tokio::net::TcpStream into hyper::http:Request?

[dityas]

Hey everyone. KInda new to async. I was looking into the documentation and could not find a way to parse a raw HTTP request read from a TCP stream into the HTTP Request struct. Is there a way to do that?

If you're looking to use hyper to handle the HTTP for you, then you want to look at hyper::server::conn::Http.

If you want to implement HTTP yourself, exactly how you decide to parse and encode is up to you. HTTP has a lot of edge-cases, so I don't recommend it. But if you really wanted, you look at using something like the httparse crate, and then convert the parsed types into http::Request.

Thank you very much for your reply. I did take a look at conn::Http. What I am specifically looking for is to send out a custom error page if the request is not parsable. Right now the server does respond with an HTTP error code for malformed requests. I am looking if there is a way to intervene and do a couple of things like logging connection details, modifying the default response, etc. before the error response is sent. Is this something that's doable in the current version?

Specifically handling a malformed HTTP request is not a current feature of hyper.
