Add per-domain toggle to disable automatic HTTP redirect following in the Native and Agent interceptors. When disabled, requests return the redirect response (status code, headers, body) without following the Location header. Previously HTTP redirects were always followed (on browser, can't do much about that, see https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#atomic-http-redirect-handling) without option to inspect the redirect response itself. This prevented developers from accessing redirect metadata needed when testing OAuth flows (PKCE where intermediate responses contain authorization tokens), authentication endpoints that return codes in Location headers with 302 status, and debugging API redirect chains. But on the desktop app, redirects were just never followed, creating the opposite effect. The browser's fetch API applies atomic HTTP redirect handling per spec, making it impossible to intercept redirects and inspect their responses. The Native and Agent interceptors use curl and native HTTP clients respectively, both supporting redirect control, making this feature viable for these specific interceptors. (Proxyscotch tbd). |

Relay
A HTTP request-response relay used by Hoppscotch Desktop and Hoppscotch Agent for more advanced request handling including custom headers, certificates, proxies, and local system integration.
Important
This crate is only available via GitHub and not published on crates.io right now.
Installation
Add to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
relay = { git = "https://github.com/CuriousCorrelation/relay.git" }
Features
- 🦀 Blazingly fast!
- HTTP client built on libcurl
- HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2.0, HTTP/3.0 support
- Security with SSL/TLS certificate management
- Proxy support with authentication
- Multiple authentication methods (Basic, Bearer, Digest)
- Content handling (JSON, Form Data, Binary)
- Custom security configurations
- Async request execution with cancellation support
Usage
use relay::{Request, Response, execute};
let request = Request {
id: 1,
url: "https://api.example.com".to_string(),
method: Method::Get,
version: Version::Http2,
// ... configure other options
};
let response = execute(request).await?;
Note
All requests are executed asynchronously and can be cancelled using the
cancel(request_id)function.
Security Features
Tip
You can configure certificate validation, host verification, and custom certificates:
let security_config = SecurityConfig {
validate_certificates: Some(true),
verify_host: Some(true),
certificates: Some(CertificateConfig {
client: Some(CertificateType::Pem {
cert: cert_data,
key: key_data
}),
ca: Some(vec![ca_cert_data])
})
};
Error Handling
The crate uses a custom error type RelayError that provides information about failures:
#[derive(Error)]
pub enum RelayError {
Network { message: String, cause: Option<String> },
Certificate { message: String, cause: Option<String> },
Parse { message: String, cause: Option<String> },
// ... other variants
}
Requirements
- Rust 1.77.2 or later
- OpenSSL development libraries
- libcurl with SSL and HTTP/2.0 support
Warning
This crate uses custom forks of some dependencies for NTLM support and consistent OpenSSL backend across platforms.
