 Simple and lightweight HTTP client with built-in HTTPS support.
 
-- HTTP and HTTPS via [rust-native-tls](https://github.com/sfackler/rust-native-tls) (or optionally [rus-tls](https://crates.io/crates/rustls))
+- HTTP and HTTPS via [rust-native-tls](https://crates.io/crates/native-tls) (or optionally [rustls](https://crates.io/crates/rustls))
 - Small binary size (0.7 MB for a basic GET request in the default configuratio)
 - Minimal number of dependencies

+http_req by default uses [rust-native-tls](https://crates.io/crates/native-tls),
 which relies on TLS framework provided by OS on Windows and macOS, and OpenSSL
-on all other platforms. But it also supports [rus-tls](https://crates.io/crates/rustls).

-## Example
-
-Basic HTTP GET request
-
-```rust
-use http_req::request;
-
-fn main() {
-    let mut body = Vec::new(); //Container for body of a response.
-    let res = request::get("https://doc.rust-lang.org/", &mut body).unwrap();
-
-    println!("Status: {} {}", res.status_code(), res.reason());

+on all other platforms. But it also supports [rustls](https://crates.io/crates/rustls).
+
+## All functionalities
+
+- Support for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols via [rust-native-tls](https://crates.io/crates/native-tls) (or optionally [rustls](https://crates.io/crates/rustls))
+- Creating and sending HTTP requests using the `Request` type (with extended capabilities provided via `RequestMessage` and `Stream`)
+- Representing HTTP responses with the `Response` type, allowing easy access to details like the status code and headers
+- Handling redirects using the `RedirectPolicy`
+- Support for Basic and Bearer authentication
+- Processing responses with `Transfer-Encoding: chunked`
+- Managing absolute `Uri`s and partial support for relative `Uri`s
+- Enforcing timeouts on requests
+- Downloading data in a streaming fashion, allowing direct saving to disk (minimizing RAM usage)
+- `Error` handling system allowing for better debugging
+- Utility functions for easily sending common request types: `get`, `head`, `post`
