# About

This library provides POSIX-like random-read-access to a HTTP-resource

It provides the following features:

 - `open`ing a HTTP-resource: this validates if the server supports HTTP-range-requests (required for random access), gets

   the resources's size and removes the percent-encoding to display a human-readable filename

 - `read`/`read_at`, `seek`/`tell` and some helper-APIs

# Dependencies

This library depends on [network_io](https://github.com/KizzyCode/network_io) for the network-operations and

[http](https://github.com/KizzyCode/http) for the HTTP-encoding/decoding.

# Build Library and Documentation

To build the documentation, go into the projects root-directory and run `cargo doc --release`; to open the documentation

in your web-browser, run `cargo doc --open`.

To build the library, go into the projects root-directory and run `cargo build --release`; you can find the build in

target/release.

# TODO

 - HTTPS-support

 - Background-prefetching for better performance

 - Maybe adaptive cache-resizing
