Description

This PR adds support for resuming interrupted or partial file downloads using standard HTTP Range requests (--resume / -c):

  1. HTTP Range Requests: When --resume is enabled and a partial file already exists locally, databusclient requests only the missing byte range (Range: bytes=<existing>-) rather than restarting from 0 bytes.
  2. 206 Partial Content Handling: Appends new data to the existing file ("ab" mode) and correctly initializes tqdm progress tracking with initial=existing_bytes.
  3. Safe Fallbacks:
    • If the server does not support Range requests and returns 200 OK, it cleanly falls back to "wb" overwrite mode without corrupting the file.
    • If the file is already complete (detected via HEAD Content-Length or 416 Range Not Satisfiable), download is gracefully skipped and proceeds to validation.
  4. CLI Option: Added --resume / -c flag to the download command in cli.py and included it in manifest replay parameters.
  5. Unit Tests: Added test cases in tests/test_download.py covering partial appending, 200 fallback, 416 status handling, HEAD skip, and CLI flags.

Walkthrough

The download API adds a resume option. It can continue partial files with HTTP range requests and handle complete files and incompatible range responses. The CLI, manifest replay, and workflow step pass the option to the API. Tests cover download behavior and option propagation.

Changes: Resumable downloads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Partial file download handling
databusclient/api/download.py
The downloader checks local and remote sizes. It skips files that match the reported remote size, requests remaining bytes with Range and If-Range, and restarts when range metadata does not match.
Resume option and propagation
databusclient/api/download.py, databusclient/cli.py, databusclient/manifest/replay.py, databusclient/workflow/steps.py, tests/test_download.py
The resume option defaults to false and passes through the API, CLI, manifest replay, and workflow step. Tests cover partial appends, response fallbacks, completion checks, and option forwarding.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: integer-ctrl

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 8079c

The new --resume option can still produce a silently corrupted or incorrectly skipped file in some edge cases, such as a changed remote file of the same size, compressed HEAD metadata, or an unexpected range response. It can also fail a valid chunked resume. The option is opt-in and the common path works, but these gaps should be fixed before merge.

Set Accept-Encoding: identity before every HEAD request.

Requests 2.28.1 supplies a compression-accepting default header when this header is absent. HEAD can therefore report the compressed representation's length, while GET explicitly requests identity encoding. HEAD metadata describes the representation selected by that request. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

If a partial identity file has the same size as the complete compressed representation, Lines 540-545 incorrectly mark the partial file complete. GET never runs, and checksum validation is disabled by default. Add the identity header to the initial headers dictionary so all HEAD and GET requests use the same encoding.

Keep an unknown response length distinct from zero.

A chunked 206 can omit Content-Length and use Content-Range: bytes 6-11/*. HTTP permits an unknown complete length. (rfc-editor.org)

With six existing bytes, this expression sets the expected final size to six. Appending the six returned bytes produces twelve bytes, so Line 724 raises after a successful transfer. Validation, conversion, and success recording do not run.

Preserve an unknown-total state instead of adding the zero default. Validate the received range length separately.

Restart with a full GET when the 206 offset does not match.

When a 206 response starts at a different offset than existing_bytes, the code truncates the local file and writes only the partial body. The size check then compares that body length with itself, so the download reports success with a truncated file. Issue a full request without Range and If-Range, as the 416 mismatch branch already does. Use the new response for the length and the write.
