htsget-http

Framework independent code for handling HTTP in htsget-rs.

Overview

This crate handles all the framework independent code for htsget-rs, it:

• Produces htsget-specific HTTP responses.
• Converts query results to JSON HTTP responses.
• Handles htsget client error reporting.
• Uses htsget-search to calculate URL tickets and byte ranges.

Usage

There is no need to interact with this crate for running htsget-rs.

As a library

This crate is useful for implementing additional framework dependent versions of the htsget-rs server. For example, htsget-rs could be written using another framework such as warp. This crate provides functions like get, post and get_service_info_json for this purpose. These functions take query and endpoint information, and process it using htsget-search to return JSON HTTP responses.

Feature flags

This crate has the following features:

• aws: used to enable S3 location functionality and any other AWS features.
• url: used to enable Url location functionality.
• experimental: used to enable experimental features that aren't necessarily part of the htsget spec, such as Crypt4GH support through C4GHStorage.
