impl ToSocketAddrs for (String, u16)
This adds a convenience impl of `ToSocketAddrs for (String, u16)`. When authoring HTTP services it's common to take command line options for `host` and `port` and parse them into `String` and `u16` respectively. Consider the following program:
```rust
#[derive(Debug, StructOpt)]
struct Config {
host: String,
port: u16,
}
async fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let config = Config::from_args();
let stream = TcpStream::connect((&*config.host, config.port))?; // &* is not ideal
// ...
}
```
Networking is a pretty common starting point for people new to Rust, and seeing `&*` in basic examples can be confusing. Even as someone that has experience with networking in Rust I tend to forget that `String` can't be passed directly there. Instead with this patch we can omit the `&*` conversion and pass `host` directly:
```rust
#[derive(Debug, StructOpt)]
struct Config {
host: String,
port: u16,
}
async fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
let config = Config::from_args();
let stream = TcpStream::connect((config.host, config.port))?; // no more conversions!
// ...
}
```
I think should be an easy and small ergonomics improvement for networking. Thanks!1 file changed
