Failed to install Cargo Requests

I'm using a Oracle Linux 8.7 and trying to install the Rust HTTP client API styled after awesome Python request

I add to Cargo.toml

requests = "0.0.30"

Followed by cargo build command

cargo build
    Updating crates.io index
error: failed to select a version for the requirement `security-framework = "^0.1.9"`
candidate versions found which didn't match: 2.8.2, 2.8.1, 2.8.0, ...
location searched: crates.io index
required by package `native-tls v0.1.0`
    ... which satisfies dependency `native-tls = "^0.1"` of package `hyper-native-tls v0.2.0`
    ... which satisfies dependency `hyper-native-tls = "^0.2"` of package `requests v0.0.30`
    ... which satisfies dependency `requests = "^0.0.30"` of package `project v0.1.0 (/home/opc/project)`

Also, tried to add these dependencies

[dependencies]
requests = "0.0.30"
native-tls = "0.2.11"
hyper-native-tls = "0.3.0"
security-framework = "^2.8.2"

But the same error is happen

Solution

  • All 0.1 versions of the security-framework crate have been yanked from crates.io. I don't know the details, but I assume it is because there was a security issue with these versions. That means that new projects can't download them any more, nor can you use crates that depend on any of the 0.1 versions of security-framework, like the very old version 0.1.* of native-tls (5 years old). The requests crate has not been updated in six years. I'd therefore consider it abandoned. You should look for an alternative HTTP client crate, like the popular reqwest.
