How to convert the body from axum request into "reqwest" body?

[spikeHollow]

Summary

I'm trying to convert the body received from axum Request as body to reqwest client. But, when I do req.body(), it gives just &Body which doesn't give any info about type of Body.
I'm doing this inside a closure for tower::service_fn. It only works if the closure argument is axum Request. I'm stuck at this point. Any kind of help would be really appreciated.
Ideally, I want the body to be directly streamed from request to the reqwest client, but this needs the ownership of the body.

axum version

0.7.4

Basically what https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum/blob/main/examples/reqwest-response/src/main.rs does

@davidpdrsn Really? As far as I understand the example, it converts a reqwest body into an axum body, which is the opposite direction of what has been asked for. (And, btw., I think the example drops the headers received from reqwest (they are converted, but dropped)).

You need to use reqwest::Body; that has a From for that

I usually do this:

fn convert(req: axum::extract::Request) -> reqwest::Request {
    let req = req.map(|body| reqwest::Body::wrap_stream(body.into_data_stream()));
    reqwest::Request::try_from(req).expect("http::Uri to url::Url conversion failed")
}

This only works with the stream feature of reqwest.
The reqwest::Request can then be executed with reqwest::Client::execute.
