Module native

Native HTTP client using bare metal TCP/IP stack.

This client uses smoltcp over a NetworkDevice driver directly, bypassing UEFI protocols entirely. Works with any network hardware that implements the NetworkDevice trait.

Usage

use morpheus_network::client::native::NativeHttpClient;
use morpheus_network::device::virtio::VirtioNetDevice;
use morpheus_network::stack::NetConfig;

// Create device
let device = VirtioNetDevice::new(transport)?;

// Create HTTP client (handles DHCP internally)
let mut client = NativeHttpClient::new(device, NetConfig::dhcp())?;

// Wait for network ready
client.wait_for_network(30_000)?; // 30 second timeout

// Make HTTP request
let response = client.get("http://example.com/file.iso")?;
