Hi
I am volunteering for the Tor Project which is making a new implementation in Rust called Arti.
Previously we had a crate providing an extra layer on hyper allowing it to be easily implemented into Arti. But since hyper 1.x this crate was deprecated because making a request through Arti using hyper became easier as this example demonstrates.
But we noticed that the lack of a custom connector is now missed by our users. In MR!2941 we are planning on resurrecting the arti-hyper crate.
But AFAIK this is only a logic choice when the user is able to use the legacy client for hyper_util to use the request method from that client to make requests.
I am wondering what the planned roadmap for the legacy client in hyper_util actually is. In client/legacy/client.rs I e.g see the following comment:
//! The legacy HTTP Client from 0.14.x
//!
//! This `Client` will eventually be deconstructed into more composable parts.
//! For now, to enable people to use hyper 1.0 quicker, this `Client` exists
//! in much the same way it did in hyper 0.14.
What exactly is meant by this? Are you planning on supporting this legacy client in the far future too?
