    🛠 Fixes

    • 🛠 Fix panicking when passing a Url with a file:// scheme. Instead, an Error is returned.

    💥 Breaking Changes

    • Changed ClientBuilder::danger_disable_hostname_verification() to ClientBuilder::danger_accept_invalid_hostnames(bool).
    • 🔄 Changed ClientBuilder to be a by-value builder instead of by-ref.

    For single chains of method calls, this shouldn't affect you. For code that conditionally uses the builder, this kind of change is needed:

      // Old
  let mut builder = ClientBuilder::new();
  if some_val {
      builder.gzip(false);
  }
  let client = builder.build()?;

  // New
  let mut builder = ClientBuilder::new();
  if some_val {
      builder = builder.gzip(false);
  }
  let client = builder.build()?;
    • 🔄 Changed RequestBuilder to be a by-value builder of by-ref.

    See the previous note about ClientBuilder for affected code and how to change it.

    • ✂ Removed the unstable cargo-feature, and moved reqwest::unstable::async to reqwest::async.
    • 🔄 Changed multipart::Part::mime() to mime_str().
      // Old
  let part = multipart::Part::file(path)?
      .mime(mime::TEXT_PLAIN);

  // New
  let part = multipart::Part::file(path)?
      .mime_str("text/plain")?;
    • ⬆️ The upgrade to hyper 0.12 means a temporary removal of the typed headers.

    The RequestBuilder has simple methods to set headers using strings, which can work in most places.

      // Old
  client
      .get("https://hyper.rs")
      .header(UserAgent::new("hallo"))
      .send()?;

  // New
  client
      .get("https://hyper.rs")
      .header("user-agent", "hallo")
      .send()?;

    To ease the transition, there is a hyper-011 cargo-feature that can be enabled.

      [dependencies]
  reqwest = { version = "0.9", features = ["hyper-011"] }

    And then usage:

      client
      .get("https://hyper.rs")
      .header_011(reqwest::hyper_011::header::UserAgent::new("hallo"))
      .send()?;
