TL;DR

The surf crate is no longer maintained, as indicated by the developer. Its last release dates back to 2021—over three years ago—making it outdated. It relies on the deprecated async-std runtime and an obsolete version of rustls for TLS support, both of which introduce risks related to security, performance, and compatibility with modern Rust tooling. Use of this crate is discouraged in favor of actively maintained alternatives.
