Up until recently, hyper was my favorite Rust HTTP framework. It's low-level, but that gives you a lot of control over what happens.

Shell session
$ cargo new nostalgia
     Created binary (application) `nostalgia` package
Shell session
$ cd nostalgia
$ cargo add hyper@0.14 --features "http1 tcp server"
    Updating 'https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index' index
      Adding hyper v0.14 to dependencies with features: ["http1", "tcp", "server"]

      Adding tokio v1 to dependencies with features: ["full"]
