Connectors, Pools, and HTTPS

Unstable: The code discussed in this guide is in hyper-util, which is not as stable as that which is in hyper. It is production ready, but changes may come more frequently.

What is a connector?

TODO

Connection Pools

TODO

HTTPS

hyper allows you to bring your own IO, so it can work on top of any TLS implementation. (TODO: link to runtime guide)

There are also crates that provide “connectors” which result in easy-to-use HTTPS for the legacy client in hyper-util. Each has their own reason for existing, and pros and cons, but this list is provided to help you get started¹:

• hyper-tls
• hyper-rustls
• hyper-openssl
