Sergio Benitez ad08fe1d04 Major changes. FN params are now being used! Woo!
Subset of list of changes:
  * Split up decorator and macro into their own files.
  * Fully parsing the path parameter and verifying against the function's args.
  * Actually calling methods to fetch and convert the request parameters.
  * Actually calling methods to convert the handler's return type.
  * Sketched out more of the Request/Response structures.

Pretty close to having a fully working MVP.

Rocket

Rocket is a work-in-progress web framework for Rust (nightly) with a focus on ease-of-use, expressability, and speed. It currently does not work. But, when it does, the following will be the canonical "Hello, world!" example:

#![feature(plugin)]
#![plugin(rocket_macros)]

extern crate rocket;
use rocket::{Rocket, Request, Response, Method, Route};

#[route(GET, path = "/hello")]
fn hello() -> &'static str {
    "Hello, world!"
}

fn main() {
    let mut rocket = Rocket::new("localhost", 8000);
    rocket.mount_and_launch("/", routes![hello]);
}

Rocket requires a nightly version of Rust as it makes heavy use of syntax extensions. This also means that the first two unwieldly lines in the Rust file above are required.

Building

Try running the examples in the examples/ folder. For instance, the following sequence of commands builds the Hello, world! example:

cd examples/hello
cargo build
cargo run

OS X

Apple has stopped shipping openssl with OS X.11. As such, if your build fails compile, you'll need to install openssl, cargo clean, and then cargo build again. Here are some lightweight instructions:

brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/include
export OPENSSL_LIB_DIR=`brew --prefix openssl`/lib
