I'm going to simplify the problem to just return the total number of bytes, instead of echoing the entire stream.
Futures 0.3
Hyper 0.13 + TryStreamExt::try_fold
See euclio's answer about hyper::body::to_bytes if you just want all the data as one giant blob.
Accessing the stream allows for more fine-grained control:
use futures::TryStreamExt; // 0.3.7
use hyper::{server::Server, service, Body, Method, Request, Response}; // 0.13.9
use std::convert::Infallible;
use tokio; // 0.2.22
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:12346".parse().expect("Unable to parse address");
let server = Server::bind(&addr).serve(service::make_service_fn(|_conn| async {
Ok::<_, Infallible>(service::service_fn(echo))
}));
println!("Listening on http://{}.", server.local_addr());
if let Err(e) = server.await {
eprintln!("Error: {}", e);
}
}
async fn echo(req: Request<Body>) -> Result<Response<Body>, hyper::Error> {
let (parts, body) = req.into_parts();
match (parts.method, parts.uri.path()) {
(Method::POST, "/") => {
let entire_body = body
.try_fold(Vec::new(), |mut data, chunk| async move {
data.extend_from_slice(&chunk);
Ok(data)
})
.await;
entire_body.map(|body| {
let body = Body::from(format!("Read {} bytes", body.len()));
Response::new(body)
})
}
_ => {
let body = Body::from("Can only POST to /");
Ok(Response::new(body))
}
}
}
Unfortunately, the current implementation of Bytes is no longer compatible with TryStreamExt::try_concat, so we have to switch back to a fold.
Futures 0.1
hyper 0.12 + Stream::concat2
Since futures 0.1.14, you can use Stream::concat2 to stick together all the data into one:
fn concat2(self) -> Concat2<Self>
where
Self: Sized,
Self::Item: Extend<<Self::Item as IntoIterator>::Item> + IntoIterator + Default,
use futures::{
future::{self, Either},
Future, Stream,
}; // 0.1.25
use hyper::{server::Server, service, Body, Method, Request, Response}; // 0.12.20
use tokio; // 0.1.14
fn main() {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:12346".parse().expect("Unable to parse address");
let server = Server::bind(&addr).serve(|| service::service_fn(echo));
println!("Listening on http://{}.", server.local_addr());
let server = server.map_err(|e| eprintln!("Error: {}", e));
tokio::run(server);
}
fn echo(req: Request<Body>) -> impl Future<Item = Response<Body>, Error = hyper::Error> {
let (parts, body) = req.into_parts();
match (parts.method, parts.uri.path()) {
(Method::POST, "/") => {
let entire_body = body.concat2();
let resp = entire_body.map(|body| {
let body = Body::from(format!("Read {} bytes", body.len()));
Response::new(body)
});
Either::A(resp)
}
_ => {
let body = Body::from("Can only POST to /");
let resp = future::ok(Response::new(body));
Either::B(resp)
}
}
}
You could also convert the Bytes into a Vec<u8> via entire_body.to_vec() and then convert that to a String.

hyper 0.11 + Stream::fold
Similar to Iterator::fold, Stream::fold takes an accumulator (called init) and a function that operates on the accumulator and an item from the stream. The result of the function must be another future with the same error type as the original. The total result is itself a future.
fn fold<F, T, Fut>(self, init: T, f: F) -> Fold<Self, F, Fut, T>
where
F: FnMut(T, Self::Item) -> Fut,
Fut: IntoFuture<Item = T>,
Self::Error: From<Fut::Error>,
Self: Sized,
We can use a Vec as the accumulator. Body's Stream implementation returns a Chunk. This implements Deref<[u8]>, so we can use that to append each chunk's data to the Vec.
extern crate futures; // 0.1.23
extern crate hyper; // 0.11.27
use futures::{Future, Stream};
use hyper::{
server::{Http, Request, Response, Service}, Post,
};
fn main() {
let addr = "127.0.0.1:12346".parse().unwrap();
let server = Http::new().bind(&addr, || Ok(Echo)).unwrap();
println!(
"Listening on http://{} with 1 thread.",
server.local_addr().unwrap()
);
server.run().unwrap();
}
struct Echo;
impl Service for Echo {
type Request = Request;
type Response = Response;
type Error = hyper::Error;
type Future = Box<futures::Future<Item = Response, Error = Self::Error>>;
fn call(&self, req: Self::Request) -> Self::Future {
match (req.method(), req.path()) {
(&Post, "/") => {
let f = req.body()
.fold(Vec::new(), |mut acc, chunk| {
acc.extend_from_slice(&*chunk);
futures::future::ok::<_, Self::Error>(acc)
})
.map(|body| Response::new().with_body(format!("Read {} bytes", body.len())));
Box::new(f)
}
_ => panic!("Nope"),
}
}
}
You could also convert the Vec<u8> body to a String.

Output
When called from the command line, we can see the result:
$ curl -X POST --data hello http://127.0.0.1:12346/
Read 5 bytes
Warning
All of these solutions allow a malicious end user to POST an infinitely sized file, which would cause the machine to run out of memory. Depending on the intended use, you may wish to establish some kind of cap on the number of bytes read, potentially writing to the filesystem at some breakpoint.
