exif-rs VS reqwest

I dont want the files to waste a lot of space so i decided to resize them. For that i used the resize method from the "image" crate. Everything works fine, until i start to upload images above 5mb. Then the resize method starts to rotate the images. I think i narrowed it down to the resize function deleting any existing exif data inside the image file. That way the orientation flag is removed and the image is in its default position. I already tried to fix this, by saving the exif data before resizing and then rewriting it to the image file. The only library that i could find that supports writing (at least for png and jpeg) was this one: kamadax-exif. The problem is, that when i write the exif data (all the previous data or just the orientation data) the file gets corrupted. Now to my question: Can someone recommend a library that can resize images, that preserves the aspect ratio and does not delete the exif data? if not, does someone have an idea on how to resize the images differently? Or maybe there exists another exif data crate that i can use? I hope this question is understandable, thanks in advance :)

I absolutely loved all the crates available that made my life very simple in many cases. I used (among others) the slint ui framework, kamadak-exif, img_hash, fast_image_resize and rawloader.

What's an example of this for, say, libcurl? On my system it has a tiny number of recursive dependencies, around a dozen. [0] Furthermore if I want to write a C program that uses libcurl I have to download zero bytes of data ... because it's a shared library that is already installed on my system, since so many programs already use it.

I don't really know the appropriate comparison for Rust. reqwest seems roughly comparable, but it's an HTTP client library, and not a general purpose network client like curl. Obviously curl can do a lot more. Even the list of direct dependencies for reqwest is quite long [1], and it's built on top of another http library [2] that has its own long list of dependencies, a list that includes tokio, no small library itself.

In terms of final binary size, the installed size of the curl package on my system, which includes both the command line tool and development dependencies for libcurl, is 1875.03 KiB.

[0] I'm excluding the dependency on the ca-certificates package, since this only provides the certificate chain for TLS and lots of programs rely on it.

ReductStore was rewritten from C++ to Rust a few months ago. We are delighted to be part of the Rust community and have taken a new step towards Rust with the Client SDK. The SDK is powered by reqwest and enables asynchronous integration of the database into Rust applications:

From what I could turn up when googling the specific error lines (here), it has something to do with the crate mio not having support for WASM, but I don’t understand what’s being said on this thread.

You can use the tauri-plugin-deep-link crate to register your app as a protocol handler. After you get your code, you can exchange it for an auth token in the same manner as the Electron guide, but for Rust you can use reqwest for the HTTP call.

When starting out, we made some design decisions at the backend. The decision will allow us to independently test the service without interfering with the real application using a term called integration testing. We'll utilize two "dev" packages: reqwest and fake. Dev dependencies only get introduced into your application in development or during testing. In production, they are not included:

It's possible, you will want to use crates like https://docs.rs/reqwest/ to download the page and https://docs.rs/scraper/ to extract elements from the page.

Rust allows me to mainly only run the application to confirm things work from a business perspective.

For people starting out building stuff in rust - understand that there is a distinction of async code and libraries and can lead to confusing compiler errors if you don't realize there is a distinction. It's simple in hindsight but did cause me to waste hours barking up the wrong trees at first. Other wise just learn about `match` and Result/Option types asap, they're fundamental.

Rust is amazing, don't let the initial few speed bumps discourage you - building real things with rust is no more challenging today than any other modern language stack.

Is there any this month in reqwest? I would like to show my interest in https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest/issues/39

The relevant issue seems to be https://github.com/seanmonstar/reqwest/pull/1753
