-// TODO: Explain difference from async Client

 //!
-//! Structures for local dispatching of requests, primarily for testing.
-//!
-//! This module allows for simple request dispatching against a local,
-//! non-networked instance of Rocket. The primary use of this module is to unit
-//! and integration test Rocket applications by crafting requests, dispatching
-//! them, and verifying the response.
-//!
-//! # Usage
-//!
-//! This module contains a [`Client`] structure that is used to create
-//! [`LocalRequest`] structures that can be dispatched against a given
-//! [`Rocket`](crate::Rocket) instance. Usage is straightforward:
-//!
-//!   1. Construct a `Rocket` instance that represents the application.
-//!
-//!      ```rust
-//!      let rocket = rocket::ignite();
-//!      # let _ = rocket;
-//!      ```
-//!
-//!   2. Construct a `Client` using the `Rocket` instance.
-//!
-//!      ```rust
-//!      # use rocket::local::blocking::Client;
-//!      # let rocket = rocket::ignite();
-//!      let client = Client::new(rocket).expect("valid rocket instance");
-//!      # let _ = client;
-//!      ```
-//!
-//!   3. Construct requests using the `Client` instance.
-//!
-//!      ```rust
-//!      # use rocket::local::blocking::Client;
-//!      # let rocket = rocket::ignite();
-//!      # let client = Client::new(rocket).unwrap();
-//!      let req = client.get("/");
-//!      # let _ = req;
-//!      ```
-//!
-//!   3. Dispatch the request to retrieve the response.
-//!
-//!      ```rust
-//!      # use rocket::local::blocking::Client;
-//!      # let rocket = rocket::ignite();
-//!      # let client = Client::new(rocket).unwrap();
-//!      # let req = client.get("/");
-//!      let response = req.dispatch();
-//!      # let _ = response;
-//!      ```
-//!
-//! All together and in idiomatic fashion, this might look like:
-//!
-//! ```rust
-//! use rocket::local::blocking::Client;
-//!
-//! let client = Client::new(rocket::ignite()).expect("valid rocket");
-//! let response = client.post("/")
-//!     .body("Hello, world!")
-//!     .dispatch();
-//! # let _ = response;
-//! ```
-//!
-//! # Unit/Integration Testing
-//!
-//! This module can be used to test a Rocket application by constructing
-//! requests via `Client` and validating the resulting response. As an example,
-//! consider the following complete "Hello, world!" application, with testing.
-//!
-//! ```rust
-//! #![feature(proc_macro_hygiene)]
-//!
-//! #[macro_use] extern crate rocket;
-//!
-//! #[get("/")]
-//! fn hello() -> &'static str {
-//!     "Hello, world!"
-//! }
-//!
-//! # fn main() {  }
-//! #[cfg(test)]
-//! mod test {
-//!     use super::{rocket, hello};
-//!     use rocket::local::blocking::Client;
-//!
-//!     fn test_hello_world() {
-//!         // Construct a client to use for dispatching requests.
-//!         let rocket = rocket::ignite().mount("/", routes![hello]);
-//!         let client = Client::new(rocket).expect("valid rocket instance");
-//!
-//!         // Dispatch a request to 'GET /' and validate the response.
-//!         let mut response = client.get("/").dispatch();
-//!         assert_eq!(response.into_string(), Some("Hello, world!".into()));
-//!     }
-//! }
-//! ```
-//!
-//! [`Client`]: crate::local::blocking::Client
-//! [`LocalRequest`]: crate::local::blocking::LocalRequest
+//! This module contains the `blocking` variant of the `local` API: it can be
+//! used in Rust's synchronous `#[test]` harness. This is accomplished by
+//! starting and running an interal asynchronous Runtime as needed.

-//! A structure to construct requests for local dispatching.
-//!
-//! # Usage
-//!
-//! A `Client` is constructed via the [`new()`] or [`untracked()`] methods from
-//! an already constructed `Rocket` instance. Once a value of `Client` has been
-//! constructed, the [`LocalRequest`] constructor methods ([`get()`], [`put()`],
-//! [`post()`], and so on) can be used to create a `LocalRequest` for
-//! dispatching.
-//!
-//! See the [top-level documentation](crate::local) for more usage information.
-//!
-//! ## Cookie Tracking
-//!
-//! A `Client` constructed using [`new()`] propagates cookie changes made by
-//! responses to previously dispatched requests. In other words, if a previously
-//! dispatched request resulted in a response that adds a cookie, any future
-//! requests will contain that cookie. Similarly, cookies removed by a response
-//! won't be propagated further.
-//!
-//! This is typically the desired mode of operation for a `Client` as it removes
-//! the burden of manually tracking cookies. Under some circumstances, however,
-//! disabling this tracking may be desired. In these cases, use the
-//! [`untracked()`](Client::untracked()) constructor to create a `Client` that
-//! _will not_ track cookies.
-//!
-//! ### Synchronization
-//!
-//! While `Client` implements `Sync`, using it in a multithreaded environment
-//! while tracking cookies can result in surprising, non-deterministic behavior.
-//! This is because while cookie modifications are serialized, the exact
-//! ordering depends on when requests are dispatched. Specifically, when cookie
-//! tracking is enabled, all request dispatches are serialized, which in-turn
-//! serializes modifications to the internally tracked cookies.
-//!
-//! If possible, refrain from sharing a single instance of `Client` across
-//! multiple threads. Instead, prefer to create a unique instance of `Client`
-//! per thread. If it's not possible, ensure that either you are not depending
-//! on cookies, the ordering of their modifications, or both, or have arranged
-//! for dispatches to occur in a deterministic ordering.

-//!
-//! The following snippet creates a `Client` from a `Rocket` instance and
-//! dispatches a local request to `POST /` with a body of `Hello, world!`.

-//! A structure representing a local request as created by [`Client`].
-//!
-//! # Usage
-//!
-//! A `LocalRequest` value is constructed via method constructors on [`Client`].
-//! Headers can be added via the [`header`] builder method and the
-//! [`add_header`] method. Cookies can be added via the [`cookie`] builder
-//! method. The remote IP address can be set via the [`remote`] builder method.
-//! The body of the request can be set via the [`body`] builder method or
-//! [`set_body`] method.
-//!
-//! ## Example
-//!
-//! The following snippet uses the available builder methods to construct a
-//! `POST` request to `/` with a JSON body:
-//!
-//! ```rust
-//! use rocket::local::asynchronous::Client;
-//! use rocket::http::{ContentType, Cookie};
-//!
-//! # rocket::async_test(async {
-//! let client = Client::new(rocket::ignite()).await.expect("valid rocket");
-//! let req = client.post("/")
-//!     .header(ContentType::JSON)
-//!     .remote("127.0.0.1:8000".parse().unwrap())
-//!     .cookie(Cookie::new("name", "value"))
-//!     .body(r#"{ "value": 42 }"#);
-//! # });
-//! ```
-//!
-//! # Dispatching
-//!
-//! A `LocalRequest` can be dispatched in one of two ways:
-//!
-//!   1. [`dispatch`]
-//!
-//!      This method should always be preferred. The `LocalRequest` is consumed
-//!      and a response is returned.
-//!
-//!   2. [`mut_dispatch`]
-//!
-//!      This method should _only_ be used when either it is known that the
-//!      application will not modify the request, or it is desired to see
-//!      modifications to the request. No cloning occurs, and the request is not
-//!      consumed.
-//!
-//! Additionally, note that `LocalRequest` implements `Clone`. As such, if the
-//! same request needs to be dispatched multiple times, the request can first be
-//! cloned and then dispatched: `request.clone().dispatch()`.
