Struct HttpClient 

pub struct HttpClient {
    pub(crate) client: Client,
    config: HttpConfig,
}

Enhanced HTTP client with retry logic and error classification

Fields

client: Client

config: HttpConfig

Implementations

impl HttpClient

pub fn new(config: HttpConfig) -> Result<Self, String>

Create a new HTTP client with default configuration

fn get_device_name() -> &'static str

Get device name based on platform

pub fn build_auth_header(access_token: Option<&str>, device_id: &str) -> String

Build the value for the Authorization header.

The MediaBrowser scheme, which is the non-deprecated one: Jellyfin 12.0 disables X-Emby-Authorization (and the Emby scheme, X-Emby-Token and X-MediaBrowser-Token) by default, and a migration turns it off on upgraded servers too. Authorization: MediaBrowser … is ungated on both 10.11.x and 12.x, so this is one value for both generations rather than a capability branch.

pub fn classify_error(error: &Error) -> ErrorKind

Classify an error for retry logic

pub fn should_retry(error: &Error) -> bool

Check if a request should be retried based on the error

pub async fn request_with_retry( &self, request: Request, ) -> Result<Response, Error>

Make a request with automatic retry on network errors

pub async fn get_json_fast<T: DeserializeOwned>( &self, url: &str, ) -> Result<T, String>

Make a GET request and deserialize JSON with a short timeout and no retries.

Intended for the initial “connect to server” probe on the login screen: a wrong/unreachable URL must fail fast instead of burning through the default 30s-per-attempt timeout and exponential backoff retries.

pub async fn ping(&self, url: &str) -> bool

Quick ping to check if a server is reachable (no retry)

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for HttpClient

fn clone(&self) -> HttpClient

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
