Struct Node 

pub struct Node { /* private fields */ }

Available on crate feature dir only.

An opened path (aka inode on Unix) as returned by FsDir::open.

This is not necessarily a plain file; it could also be a directory, for example.

The caller can inspect it as desired. If it is a directory, the caller might pass the result of into_file() to nix::dir::Dir::from. If it is a plain file, the caller might create an http_serve::Entity with into_file_entity().

Implementations

impl Node

pub fn into_file(self) -> File

Converts this node to a std::fs::File.

pub fn into_file_entity<D, E>( self, headers: HeaderMap, ) -> Result<ChunkedReadFile<D, E>, Error>

where D: 'static + Send + Sync + Buf + From<Vec<u8>> + From<&'static [u8]>, E: 'static + Send + Sync + Into<Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>> + From<Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>>,

Converts this node (which must represent a plain file) into a ChunkedReadFile. The caller is expected to supply all headers. The function add_encoding_headers may be useful.

pub fn metadata(&self) -> &Metadata

Returns the (already fetched) metadata for this node.

pub fn encoding(&self) -> Option<&'static str>

Returns the encoding this file is assumed to have applied to the caller’s request. E.g., if automatic gzip compression is enabled and index.html.gz was found when the caller requested index.html, this will return Some("gzip"). If the caller requests index.html.gz, this will return None because the gzip encoding is built in to the caller’s request.

pub fn encoding_varies(&self) -> bool

Returns true iff the content varies with the request’s Accept-Encoding header value.

pub fn add_encoding_headers(&self, hdrs: &mut HeaderMap)

Adds Content-Encoding and Vary headers for the encoding to hdrs.

Note if there are other Vary header components known to the caller, this method is inappropriate.
