What’s everyone working on this week (11/2022)?
Working on a 2.0 release of Isahc (HTTP client) with first-class support for using rustls for HTTPS. This has been a highly-requested feature and has been in the works for over a year.

New crate: asserhttp
It is a simple trait providing many asserters. This trait is then implemented for many http clients: reqwest, surf, isahc, hyper and actix.

Building static Rust binaries for Linux
This indicates curl, zlib, openssl, and libnghttp2 as well as a bunch of WASM-related things are being dynamically linked into my executable. To resolve this, I looked at the build features exposed by surf and found that it selects the "curl_client" feature by default, which can be turned off and replaced with "h1-client-rustls" which uses an HTTP client backed by rustls and async-std and no dynamically linked libraries. Enabling this build feature removed all -sys dependencies from androidx-release-watcher, allowing me to build static executables of it.

http client facade library?
https://github.com/http-rs/surf provides an abstraction over several backends, but forces you into async and async-std, and the abstractions it provides are very limited anyway.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing isahc and surf you can also consider the following projects:
reqwest - An easy and powerful Rust HTTP Client
lang-team - Home of the Rust lang team
rust-http-clients-smoke-test
mdSilo - In-browser knowledge base on top of local plain-text files
ureq - A simple, safe HTTP client
hurl - Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text.
asserhttp - Fluent http assertions
AndroidNetworking - 🚀 A Complete Fast Android Networking Library that also supports HTTP/2 🚀
rust - Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
ripgrep - ripgrep recursively searches directories for a regex pattern while respecting your gitignore
