Shortcut method to quickly make a blocking GET request.

NOTE: This function creates a new internal Client on each call, and so should not be used if making many requests. Create a Client instead.

Examples

# fn run() -> Result<(), reqwest::Error> {
let body = reqwest::blocking::get("https://www.rust-lang.org")?
    .text()?;
# Ok(())
# }
# fn main() { }

Errors

This function fails if:

• the native TLS backend cannot be initialized,
• the supplied Url cannot be parsed,
• there was an error while sending request,
• a redirect loop was detected,
• the redirect limit was exhausted, or
• the total download time exceeds 30 seconds.
