How to construct a ContentLocation?

[sazzer]

I feel like I'm missing something obvious here.

The ContentLocation struct has a private field, so can't be directly constructed. It's also got no new() method and doesn't seem to implement From, TryFrom, FromStr or anything else like that in any useful manner that I can see.

There are also no examples in the RustDoc, and the tests are all in the same module so can construct the struct directly even though my code can't.

So, what am I missing?

You're not missing anything obvious, it looks like the type just doesn't have any useful methods.

When the typed headers were first made as part of hyper, we accidentally exposed too many internals, and it required breaking changes, even for headers that someone might not care about. So when moved into this separate crate, internal privacy was improved, and only conservative methods that don't restrict internal refactors have been added.

It was easier to do that for some types. Others, people just haven't submitted proposals for what conservative methods to add.

So what's the best way to address this? Do I submit a proposal somewhere? Or do I just submit a PR? Or is there some other way?

i'd second this–I'd like to be able to use the Location header, but it's not that useful right now, since I can't see how I can get data into or out of the type.
