Enum hyper::header::IfRange

[src]
pub enum IfRange { EntityTag(EntityTag), Date(HttpDate), }
If-Range
header, defined in RFC7233
If a client has a partial copy of a representation and wishes to have an up-to-date copy of the entire representation, it could use the Range header field with a conditional GET (using either or both of If-Unmodified-Since and If-Match.) However, if the precondition fails because the representation has been modified, the client would then have to make a second request to obtain the entire current representation.
The If-Range
header field allows a client to \"short-circuit\" the
second request. Informally, its meaning is as follows: if the
representation is unchanged, send me the part(s) that I am requesting
in Range; otherwise, send me the entire representation.
ABNF
If-Range = entity-tag / HTTP-date
