# Range header parsing

[![Latest workflow](https://github.com/MarcusGrass/parse-range-headers/workflows/check_commit/badge.svg)](https://github.com/MarcusGrass/parse-range-headers/actions)
[![CratesIo](https://shields.io/crates/v/http-range-header)](https://crates.io/crates/http-range-header)

The main goals of this parser is:
* Follow specification [RFC-2616](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt)
* Behave as expected [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Range)
* Accuracy - parses headers strictly
* Security - Never panics, ensured by fuzzing
* Stability
* No dependecies

Secondary goals are:
* Speed
* Information on why the header was rejected

The parser is strict. Any range where all parts are not syntactically correct and makes sense in the context of the underlying 
resource will be rejected.
