Struct headers::IfRange

pub struct IfRange(_);

If-Range header, defined in RFC7233

If a client has a partial copy of a representation and wishes to have an up-to-date copy of the entire representation, it could use the Range header field with a conditional GET (using either or both of If-Unmodified-Since and If-Match.) However, if the precondition fails because the representation has been modified, the client would then have to make a second request to obtain the entire current representation.

The If-Range header field allows a client to "short-circuit" the second request. Informally, its meaning is as follows: if the representation is unchanged, send me the part(s) that I am requesting in Range; otherwise, send me the entire representation.

ABNF

If-Range = entity-tag / HTTP-date

Example values

• \"xyzzy\"

Examples

use headers::IfRange;
use std::time::{SystemTime, Duration};

let fetched = SystemTime::now() - Duration::from_secs(60 * 60 * 24);
let if_range = IfRange::date(fetched);

Implementations

impl IfRange

pub fn etag(tag: ETag) -> IfRange

pub fn is_modified(
    &self,
    etag: Option<&ETag>,
    last_modified: Option<&LastModified>
) -> bool

Checks if the resource has been modified, or if the range request can be served.
