Module files 

Serve files from the served directories without following symbolic links out of them (the default; see –follow-symlinks).

Files are streamed, with Last-Modified and ETag for revalidation (If-None-Match, If-Modified-Since) and single byte ranges, as tower-http’s ServeDir does.

Structs

Roots

The directories files are served from, in order, each with its real path (symbolic links resolved).

Validators 🔒

The validators of a file: its ETag and its modification time.

Enums

Found 🔒

What a request path names.

Part 🔒

The part of a file of len bytes that a Range header asks for.

Constants

CHUNK 🔒

The bytes read from a file at a time.

Functions

is_opened 🔒

Whether the file at real is opened (whose metadata is meta).

open_file 🔒

Open file for reading, without blocking should it be a FIFO.

part 🔒

Read a Range header. Only one range of bytes is served; anything else, several ranges or one that does not parse, gets the whole file.

respond 🔒

The response for an opened file: 304, 206, 416 or 200, streamed.

secs 🔒

serve

Serve a file from roots, refusing those reached through a symbolic link that leads out of them (see –follow-symlinks).

stream 🔒

count bytes of file from first, read a chunk at a time as the client takes them, so that memory does not grow with the file’s size.

windows_unsafe 🔒

Whether Windows would take segment for something other than the file it names: a device (NUL, COM1.txt), or a name it trims (a.bob., a.bob ) and so opens another file under.
