* Package name : python-rangehttpserver Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Author : Dan Vanderkam <dan...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/danvk/RangeHTTPServer * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : SimpleHTTPServer with support for Range requests RangeHTTPServer is a Python module for running a simple HTTP server with support for range requests. It is suitable for use in local testing, not Internet scale production use. . HTTP range requests ask the server to send only a portion of an HTTP message back to a client and are useful for clients like media players that support random access, data tools that know they need only part of a large file, and download managers that let the user pause and resume the download. I will maintain this in the Debian Python Team. It is required to make the serve option in clamav-cvdupdate work (currently disabled until this gets in). Also, it looks like there is an embedded copy in python3-asdf, so perhaps it could be updated to use a system version.
