Module http 

A backend-agnostic HTTP download layer.

This module defines a set of small traits — HttpClient, HttpRequestBuilder, HttpResponse, and HttpHeaders — that abstract over any HTTP client implementation (for example the reqwest wrapper in the reqwest module). On top of them it provides:

• HttpPuller: a fast_pull::Puller that streams bytes over HTTP, with range support and file-identity (resumability) checks.
• Prefetch: resolves a crate::UrlInfo for a URL via a prefetch request.
• ContentDisposition: parses the Content-Disposition header for filenames.
• manual_redirect: RFC 9110-aware Referer computation for redirect following.
• HttpError: the error type produced by this layer.

Most users do not use these types directly; instead they use FastDownPuller (from the fast-puller feature), which wraps HttpPuller with a smart-redirecting reqwest client.

Modules

manual_redirect

Manual redirect handling that respects the Referrer-Policy header.

Structs

ContentDisposition

Parsed Content-Disposition header, extracting the filename parameter.

HttpPuller

A Puller implementation that fetches data over HTTP.

Enums

HttpError

Errors that can occur during HTTP download operations.

Traits

HttpClient

Abstraction over an HTTP client that can send GET requests with optional byte-range headers.

HttpHeaders

Abstraction over HTTP response headers, providing typed get-by-name access.

HttpRequestBuilder

Abstraction over an HTTP request builder that can be sent to produce a response.

HttpResponse

Abstraction over an HTTP response that provides headers, final URL, and chunked body reading.

Prefetch

Trait for fetching resource metadata (size, filename, range support) from a URL.

Type Aliases

GetChunkError

Projected chunk error type for a given client.

GetHeader

Projected headers type for a given client.

GetHeaderError

Projected header-get error type for a given client.

GetRequestBuilder

Projected HttpClient::RequestBuilder type for a given client.

GetRequestError

Projected request error type for a given client.

GetResponse

Projected HttpResponse type for a given request builder.

PrefetchResult

Result of a prefetch operation: the metadata (UrlInfo) and the initial HTTP response.
