SecureFetch

0.1.0

HTTPS requests from PowerShell over TLS 1.3 with the X25519MLKEM768 post-quantum hybrid key exchange, from rustls inside the module. Invoke-SecureFetch writes a SecureFetch.Response for each https:// address, with the protocol version, key exchange and cipher suite its handshake agreed; -RequirePostQuantum refuses a server that cannot agree X25519MLKEM768 before the request is sent. Certificates are verified against the bundled Mozilla roots and, on Windows, the Windows store, or a choice of roots. It sends GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE and OPTIONS with headers and bodies, follows redirects to https:// addresses only, downloads to a file, goes through HTTP proxies by CONNECT, decodes gzip, deflate, br and zstd bodies, and keeps connections for the next request to the same host. Invoke-WebRequest and every other module keep the host's own TLS stack. Bound directly to Rust with PoWerRuSt (pwrs), Rust bindings for writing PowerShell binary modules in the spirit of PyO3: the cmdlet is the library, not a wrapper over a command line. Windows x64, Linux x64 (glibc 2.28 and newer), macOS arm64 and FreeBSD x64 in one module, on PowerShell 7.4 or later and, on Windows, Windows PowerShell 5.1.
