DSpace 7 has support for the range header on the bitstream endpoint. We can use this to just get parts of a bitstream or for other features such as streaming video.

Usage

The range header indicates which part of a bitstream the server should return, currently we support the following formats:

Open-range:

Range: bytes=<range-start>-

Closed-range:

Range: bytes=<range-start>-<range-end>

Multiple-ranges:

Range: bytes=<range-start>-<range-end>, <range-start>-<range-end>, <range-start>-<range-end>


For more information: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Range

Note that DSpace only supports bytes as the unit.

ETAG

For the ETAG header we use the checksum of a bitstream.

HTTP-headers:

The following other HTTP-headers are supported

HeaderExplanation
If-None-MatchIf this is equal to the checksum of the requested bitstream, a 304 will be returned.
If-Modified-SinceThe bitstream will only be returned if it has been modified since the given date
If-MatchOnly returns the bitstream if If-Match contains the checksum or "*"
If-Not-Modified-SinceThe bitstream will only be returned if it has NOT been modified since the given date
