Can you explain the rust-fetch dependency?
It was a (failed) joke about your user-name.
I used rust fetch to fetch css for themes and manifests from GitHub repository with themes (and plugins soon as I rewrite current solution based on git2 dependency) that you import. Probably there was a better solution, but rust fetch finds me first)
How did you find that crate?
Why do you think you need it?
Could you message me in matrix or telegram? I always trying to improve my skills, your feedback could help me a lot.
I just googled smth like fetch in rust and it was one of the first link. What’s wrong with it, still make its job done.
reqwest
, which is what I expected you to immediately notice after I brought it into attention. You can obviously just remove it and usereqwest
directly.reqwest
with something malicious, or bad in some other way, in a v0.1.1 release. That (theoretical) release will be picked up after acargo update
call, or whenCargo.lock
is not checked, which is the case by default with libraries.When you asked me about this crate, I just wrote how it’s used not checking the code itself, my bad
Thanks, checked parts where I use it, found a few serious bugs in code. I’ll remove rust-fetch and use pure reqwest library. Thanks again, you helped a lot)
