'Missing' allows constructing a 'FileServer' even if the supplied path
does not exist. 'IndexFile' allows serving a single file as the index of
the mount path.
The syntax 'TypedStream![T + '_]' expands to:
impl TypedStream<Item = T> + '_
This allows seamlessly borrowing in typed streams.
Also adds 'Event::empty()', for convenience.
The improvements are:
* Point directly and immediately to the 'Responder' derive.
* Provide more discussion on lifetimes.
* Format documentation for easier scanning.
Previously, recursion into rewriting 'self' in field validations would
cease after the first function call. This meant that internal uses of
'self' were not properly rewritten. This commit ameliorates the
situation.
This allows responses to be sent to the client even when data is only
partially read, significantly improving the experience for the client
from one with a "connection closed" error to one with a proper response.
The consequence is a lifetime in 'Data'.
Though other non-lifetime-introducing solutions exist, the introduction
of a lifetime to 'Data' is a longstanding desire as it prevents
smuggling 'Data' into a longer-lived context. Use of 'Data' in that
context was unspecified with various runtime consequences. The addition
of a lifetime bound by the request prevents this error statically.
In summary, the changes are:
* Clients receive responses even when data isn't fully read.
* 'Data' becomes 'Data<'r>'. 'FromData' changes accordingly.
* Route 'Outcome's are strictly tied to the request lifetime.
Tangentially, the invalid length form field validation error message has
improved to format length in byte units if it exceeds 1024.
If stars aligned properly, we might imagine writing this:
#[non_exhaustive]
struct Config {
pub field: Foo,
pub other: Bar,
}
...with semantics that would allow the defining crate (here, Rocket), to
construct the structure directly while consumers would need to use
public constructors or struct update syntax:
Config {
field: Foo,
other: Bar,
..Default::default()
}
Alas, this is not the way `non_exhaustive` works on structs. You cannot
use field-update syntax to construct `Config` above. You must use public
constructors. This means builder methods or mutating an already built
struct. This is not what we want.
I don't know why it works this way. I don't see why it must. Something
something Drop.
So we have this hack from the pre-non_exhaustive era.
