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

Walkthrough

The download command now supports resuming partial files. The option propagates through the API, uses HTTP range requests, detects complete files, handles full-response fallback and 416 responses, and records replay parameters. Tests cover API and CLI behavior.

Changes

Resumable downloads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resume contract and wiring
databusclient/cli.py, databusclient/api/download.py
The CLI adds --resume and -c, records the value in replay parameters, and passes it through the download pipeline.
Partial file download handling
databusclient/api/download.py
The downloader compares local and remote sizes, skips complete files, restarts oversized files, and resumes partial files with HTTP range requests and append-mode writes.
Resume behavior validation
tests/test_download.py
Tests cover partial appending, full-response fallback, 416 handling, HEAD-based completion, and CLI propagation.

Resumed downloads can silently produce or preserve corrupted files, while manifest replay can unexpectedly restart partial downloads. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Bind resumed bytes to the remote representation. The downloader appends every 206 response, but it stores no ETag or Last-Modified validator. A changed resource can therefore append a new suffix to the existing prefix. The HEAD equal-size shortcut has the same defect because it checks only Content-Length and can accept different content without a GET.

Persist the validator with the partial file. At the resume boundary, require the stored validator to match the current HEAD validator before using either the equal-size shortcut or Range. If it is missing or differs, reset existing_bytes to zero and download with wb; otherwise send the validator through If-Range.

Validate Content-Range before accepting range responses.

A 416 response remains reachable when the HEAD response has no usable content-length. The current branch then accepts a local file that may exceed the current remote length.

A 206 response is appended without checking its range start. If its body length matches the expected remainder, the final-size check can pass even when the body starts at a different offset.

For 206, require Content-Range to start at existing_bytes and derive the expected total from its /N value. For 416, accept the file only when Content-Range: bytes */N reports N == existing_bytes; otherwise restart or fail. Add tests for both mismatches.

Forward resume during manifest replay. _build_download_kwargs omits replay_params["resume"], so api_download receives its default resume=False. Replaying a manifest created with resume=True can restart partial downloads.
