fastc-core · HTTP/1.1 client

fastc-core-http

fastc-core-http is the HTTP/1.1 client in fastc-core. Every request-issuing function takes a CapNetConnect capability in its signature — a function without it structurally cannot make a network call, which is the whole point of capability-typed I/O.

Repository API docs All packages
capability CapNetConnect

What it ships (v0.1.0)

  • GET / POST / PUT / DELETE
  • TLS via OpenSSL linked at build time
  • Header and body control
  • Gated on CapNetConnect in every signature

When to use it

Any fastC program that must speak HTTP with visible, auditable network authority.

Example

use http::get;

fn fetch(c: ref(CapNetConnect)) -> Response {
  return get(c, https://example.com");
}
fastc-core-http — minimal usage fastc-core-http v0.1.0

Roadmap

HTTP/2 and connection pooling are deferred to a later release.

Provenance

Like every fastc-core package, fastc-core-http ships with content-hashed, cosign-keyless-signed releases and SLSA L3 provenance. It is vendored, not pulled from a central registry — there is no account to compromise.
