Rust bindings to libcurl providing safe access to the Easy and Multi transfer interfaces. It supports HTTP methods, custom headers, connection reuse, and concurrent transfers.
Use cases
- make http requests from rust
- download web pages in rust
- upload data with post or put requests
- perform multiple concurrent transfers
- reuse connections with keep-alive
- set custom http headers
When to choose
- you need libcurl's mature protocol support and features in Rust
- you need the multi interface for concurrent transfers
- you want battle-tested HTTP client behavior backed by libcurl
When to avoid
- you prefer a pure-Rust HTTP client without a C dependency
- you only need simple async HTTP requests where reqwest is more ergonomic
- you want to avoid linking native libcurl
