Open Source Rust HTTP Servers

Simple HTTP server in Rust (Windows/Mac/Linux) Windows support (with colored log). Specify listen to address (ip, port), specify running threads, and specify the root directory. Nginx like directory view (directory entries, link, filesize, modified date) Breadcrumb navigation.

Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format. It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body responses. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions. Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON-based APIs. Hurl can run HTTP requests but can also be used to test HTTP responses. Different types of queries and predicates are supported, from XPath and JSONPath on body response, to assert on status code and response headers.

A secure, stable and high-performance reverse proxy for NAT traversal, written in Rust. rathole, like frp and ngrok, can help to expose the service on the device behind the NAT to the Internet, via a server with a public IP. High Performance Much higher throughput can be achieved than frp, and more stable when handling a large volume of connections. Low Resource Consumption Consumes much fewer memory than similar tools. See Benchmark. The binary can be as small as ~500KiB to fit the constraints of devices, like embedded devices as routers. Security Tokens of services are mandatory and service-wise. The server and clients are responsible for their own configs. With the optional Noise Protocol, encryption can be configured at ease. No need to create a self-signed certificate! TLS is also supported.

This crate is a general purpose library for common types found when working with the HTTP protocol. You’ll find Request and Response types for working as either a client or a server as well as all of their components. Notably you’ll find Uri for what a Request is requesting, a Method for how it’s being requested, a StatusCode for what sort of response came back, a Version for how this was communicated, and HeaderName/HeaderValue definitions to get grouped in a HeaderMap to work with request/response headers. You will notably not find an implementation of sending requests or spinning up a server in this crate. It’s intended that this crate is the “standard library” for HTTP clients and servers without dictating any particular implementation. Note that this crate is still early on in its lifecycle so the support libraries that integrate with the http crate are a work in progress! Stay tuned and we’ll be sure to highlight crates here in the future.

Open source HTTP reverse proxy built in Rust for immutable infrastructures. Most existing tools have a static vision of production: a service is installed once on a long-lived server, updated from time to time, with configuration rarely changing. There's now a shift in infrastructure to short-lived virtual machines and hundreds of new deployments per day, and the usual tools reach their limits. How do we reconcile a dynamic environment with availability guarantees? How can we get "zero downtime" deployments for critical services? SŌZU is a HTTP reverse proxy built in Rust, that can handle fine-grained configuration changes at runtime without reloads, and is designed to never ever stop. SŌZU receives and handles configuration changes at runtime and updates its internal configuration without restarts. You can update the configuration multiple times per second, and it will take care of lingering connections.

oha is a tiny program that sends some load to a web application and shows real-time tui inspired by rakyll/hey. This program is written in Rust and powered by tokio and beautiful tui by tui-rs. -q option works differently from rakyll/hey. It's set the overall query per second instead of for each worker.

LocalDomain is a desktop application that simplifies local development by letting you create and manage custom local domains. It handles hosts file entries, generates trusted SSL certificates via a local CA, manages a reverse proxy (Caddy) daemon, and provides access/audit logging — all through an intuitive GUI. Built with Tauri, React, and Rust.

Drill is an HTTP load-testing application written in Rust. The main goal for this project is to build a really lightweight tool as an alternative to other that require JVM and other stuff. You can write benchmark files, in YAML format, describing all the stuff you want to test. It was inspired by Ansible syntax because it is really easy to use and extend. As you can see, you can play with interpolations in different ways. This will let you specify a benchmark with different requests and dependencies between them. Right now, the easiest way to get drill is to go to the latest release page and download the binary file for your platform. OpenSSL is needed in order to compile Drill, whether it is through cargo install or when compiling from source with cargo build.

A Rust HTTP server for Python applications. Supports ASGI/3, RSGI and WSGI interface applications. Implements HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 protocols. Supports HTTPS. Supports Websockets over HTTP/1 and HTTP/2.

Rouille is a micro-web-framework library. It creates a listening socket and parses incoming HTTP requests from clients, then gives you the hand to process the request. Rouille was designed to be intuitive to use if you know Rust. Contrary to express-like frameworks, it doesn't employ middlewares. Instead, everything is handled in a linear way. Concepts closely related to websites (like cookies, CGI, form input, etc.) are directly supported by rouille. More general concepts (like database handling or templating) are not directly handled, as they are considered orthogonal to the microweb framework. However, rouille's design makes it easy to use in conjunction with any third-party library without the need for any glue code. The rouille library just ignores this optimization and focuses on providing an easy-to-use synchronous API instead, where each request is handled in its own dedicated thread.

A fast static web server with TLS (HTTPS), routing, hot reloading, caching, templating, and security in a single binary you can set up with zero code. Binserve is designed to be performant, this is thanks to Actix-Web - one of the fastest web frameworks out there and DashMap for handling routes and cache storage. Binserve is cross-platform and portable to any major operating system, like it can run on your Android phone! Routing is simply matching a URI path to a file or a directory in a JSON file. You can reload your configuration (routes) and static files with no downtime. Binserve's performance is achieved due to minimization of Disk I/O operations at runtime (with fast_mem_cache enabled) and serving static files from memory. On the client-side, Cache-Control, Etag, and Last-Modified are utilized. Prevents common attack vectors like Directory Traversal and Symlink Attacks.
