Function send_request

pub async fn send_request<R, S, SP>(
    runtime: &SP,
    req: &R,
    stream: &mut S,
    source: Option<SourceInfo>,
) -> Result<DirResponse>
where
    R: Requestable + ?Sized,
    S: AsyncRead + AsyncWrite + Send + Unpin,
    SP: SleepProvider,

Fetch or upload a Tor directory object using the provided stream.

To do this, we send a simple HTTP/1.0 request for the described object in req over stream, and then wait for a response. In log messages, we describe the origin of the data as coming from source.

Notes

It’s kind of bogus to have a ‘source’ field here at all; we may eventually want to remove it.

This function doesn’t close the stream; you may want to do that yourself.

The only error variant returned is Error::RequestFailed.
