@kodieg I don't have a solution for this, but have you tried to expand the macro? IntelliJ can do it, and so I think can VSCode but it is a cargo subcommand you can install, instructions are here: https://github.com/dtolnay/cargo-expand
@gzp-crey Huh? That is possible? Have you tried it? From the look at the documentation, it seems to me as if the path is canonicalized, so this shouldn't be possible. If you are concerned, however, and want a real sandbox, you could always run the single binary rust compiles to in a chroot environment, a well-known technique for ages.

Hi. I am planning to create subdomain system with actix-web. I dont how i handle it but my plan is, creating web server forevery subdomain, every one of them will use actix-redis session middleware. Are they will use the same session data or, do i have find another way?
for example, like google apps?
if they're connected to the same backend redis server then the auth with work across domains (assuming the cookies are set up correctly)
for subdomains, there is a Host guard (see docs) which would allow you to use the same AW server for multiple subdomains
otherwise, if you want to use separate servers, then a reverse proxy set up with Traefik or Nginx is a good route to explore
if I m having static site generated using separate framework like nextjs and I want to map files to url? What is best way to do it with actix and actix-files. I can easily map index files and works well when there is hash routing and SPA. But I couldn't make it work with generated static site.

Hey guys,
I am trying to use SSE (server send events) with code below
when browser try to subscribe, it is just stuck till timeout. (req timeout)
#[get("/events")]
async fn event( broadcaster: web::Data<Mutex<Broadcaster>>) -> impl Responder {
println!("enter events locking broadcaster");
let mut map : HashMap<String, String> = HashMap::new();
map.insert("status".to_string() , "connected".to_string());
let rx = broadcaster.lock().unwrap().new_client( map );
println!("add newclient");
HttpResponse::Ok()
.header("content-type", "text/event-stream")
// .no_chunking(64)
.streaming(rx)
}I trace it, it reach HttpResponse::Ok and stuck there
I wonder if the no_chunking is required?

AsyncContext* I guess
Actix_web::main*
Great thank you
Sick! Is that the reason why it doesn't spawn n-1 threads because the main one is mostly idle? In my mind I was thinking maybe it wants to leave a thread for itself but if it mostly idle then that is fine I think

hi. i am tring to use this example -> https://github.com/actix/examples/blob/master/basics/middleware-ext-mut/src/add_msg.rs
but i am using actix-beta. is there examples for beta?
it uses the same HTTP stack as actix web
I generally prefer to use
awc in my projects
also built-in middlewares is very cool. in reqwest land you need an additional wrapper package
reqwest-middleware for that
Hello every one
Im trying to make a proxy using actix and while the core functionality works fine i struggle to get the raw data from a HttpRequest (the point being to print it into the user so that he can reproduce/modify the request.

Hi folks. I'm trying to set up my actix-web app with Docker. I've got the images and containers working, but can't find a way to connect to localhost. I've scoured all of the usual sites, published ports, tried host network, etc., but while the issue seems to be that while the requests are going in, actix isn't serving the response. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Repo is here: https://github.com/ToferC/health_rules_engine

from a quick glance: everything looks correct. that's certainly a weird bug
binding to 0.0.0.0 inside the container is the right thing to do
i notice you're mappinng 18080 to 8080 in the docker-compose, but that should be okay

what OS / environment are you running this in? is it just linux, or is it macos with docker desktop or windows with wsl
When watching the traffic, i can see small (2k) traffic going in, but nothing comes back out and ive got a no response screen on browser and nada in console.
Should every endpoint function be
async ? Or is it not useful?

I'm looking for an example for this use case: 1) website assets have been ready: index.html (1k), index.js(315k), wasm.js(9k), xxx.wasm(300k). 2) I want all assets can be provided as gzip. 3) I want all assets can be automatically gzipped during compiling time and it's part of the final binary file. 4) with this kind of setting, actix-web doesn't need to zip the assets during runtime but still can provide gzipped format to the client. Do we have this kind of example? Thanks.
Could't find anything in the docs
anyone can give me some direction?
Do I need to create a custom middleware to inject the header in every response?
