Day 21: Soft Breeze, Mild Frustration

Things we did:

• The Headers API was merged over the weekend. :)
• Response API
  • Spent a lot of the day just get familiar with the webidl and how it should be used. Was mildly successful.
  • Started working on the Response constructor.
• Request API
  • Worked over the weekend to catch up on the hours I missed on Thursday.
  • Wrote constructor up to Step 32 that compiles!

Things we learned:

• byte-copies in rust involve ” shallowly copying an object byte-by-byte, not following pointers”, whereas semantic copies involves “duplicating a value to create a new (somewhat) independent instance that can be safely used separately to the old one.” Also helpful: this.

TODO:

• Try to understand how the networking for the Fetch API works in methods.rs.
• Response:
  • Continue working on constructor.
• Request:
  • Continue with constructor! The end is near!!
