Feature Request: Range header for (partial) dataset download #10934

Open JR-1991 opened 1 month ago

JR-1991 commented 1 month ago

Overview of the Feature Request

The Data Access API supports a range header to request specific parts of a file to download, which is useful for many applications. Having this type of feature for both downloading entire and custom bundles of a dataset would be a great. According to @pdurbin this is currently not available (see Zulip chat).

What kind of user is the feature intended for?

API User

What inspired the request?

Development of a resume function for data file downloads in rust-dataverse.

Any brand new behavior do you want to add to Dataverse?

Expand range header support for entire and partial dataset downloads.

Are you thinking about creating a pull request for this feature?

I could try, but I am novice when it comes to Java yet open to learn more about the DV source 🙌
