# rocket_seek_stream

[crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/rocket_seek_stream)

A [Rocket](https://github.com/SergioBenitez/Rocket) responder for types implementing the `AsyncRead + AsyncSeek` traits, such as files and `rocket::futures::io::Cursor`, that will respond to range requests with a 206 Partial Content response. The `Content-Type` can optionally be inferred by taking a sample of bytes from the beginning of the stream, or given manually. An `Accept-Ranges: bytes` header will be sent in all responses to notify browsers that range requests are supported for the resource.

This supports both single and multipart/byterange requests.
[https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233)

## Cargo.toml

Add this to your dependencies.

```
rocket_seek_stream = {git="https://github.com/rydz/rocket_seek_stream"}
```

## Examples

Serving a file from the disk

```rust
#![feature(proc_macro_hygiene, decl_macro)]
#[macro_use]
extern crate rocket;
use rocket_seek_stream::SeekStream;

#[get("/")]
fn home<'a>() -> std::io::Result> {
SeekStream::from_path("kosmodrom.webm")
}

#[rocket::main]
async fn main() {
match rocket::build().mount("/", routes![home]).launch().await {
Ok(_) => (),
Err(e) => {
eprintln!("Rocket stopped unexpectedly. (Error {})", e);
}
};
}
```

Serving an in memory buffer

```rust
#[get("/")]
fn cursor<'a>() -> SeekStream<'a> {
let bytes = &include_bytes!("./fly_me_to_the_moon.webm")[..];
let len = bytes.len();
let stream = std::io::Cursor::new(bytes);

SeekStream::with_opts(stream, len as u64, "video/webm")
}
```

Use `cargo run --example server` to run the example. run `examples/download.sh` to download the media it depends on using [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp).

## TODO

- Write some tests

I've compared the output of the Golang stdlib http router's multipart response to what I output here and it looks about the same except for a small difference in whitespace.
