Making Requests

Make a HTTP GET request

Parses the supplied URL and makes a synchronous HTTP GET request with reqwest::blocking::get. Prints obtained reqwest::blocking::Response status and headers. Reads HTTP response body into an allocated String using read_to_string.

}

A similar approach can be used by including the tokio executor to make the main function asynchronous, retrieving the same information.

In this example, tokio::main handles all the heavy executor setup and allows sequential code implemented without blocking until .await.

Uses the asynchronous versions of reqwest, both reqwest::get and reqwest::Response.
