reqwest 0.6.0

on Rust Cargo

Features

• Upgraded to serde 1.0
• Added a url method to Error, which returns a possible associated Url that occurred with this error.
• Added req.basic_auth(user, optional_pass) method to ease using Basic authentication.

Breaking Changes

• The publicly exposed peer dependency serde was upgraded. It is now serde@1.0. Mismatched version will give a compiler error that a serde trait is not implemented.
• Error is no longer an enum, but an opaque struct. Details about it can be checked with std::error::Error::cause(), and methods on reqwest::Error include is_http(), is_serialization(), and is_redirect().
• RedirectPolicy::custom receives different arguments, and returns different values. See the docs for an example.
