Concepts in this chapter

You will learn and practice:

- **reqwest** — popular HTTP client crate (add to Cargo.toml in real projects)

- **Blocking get** — reqwest::blocking::get(url)

- **Status and body** — response.status(), response.text()

- **In exercises** — we use simple output so the runner can verify without network

---

With reqwest (typical)

```rust

// In a real project: reqwest = "0.11" in Cargo.toml

// let res = reqwest::blocking::get("https://example.com")?;

// println!("{}", res.status());

```

For the in-browser runner we simulate or print a fixed status so the step passes without external deps.
