StorageProviderHTTP

✓ from snakemake_storage_plugin_http import StorageProviderHTTP

✗ from snakemake_storage_plugin_http import StorageProviderHTTP

Basic usage: instantiate the provider. Typically used implicitly via Snakemake's storage plugin mechanism.

from snakemake_storage_plugin_http import StorageProviderHTTP provider = StorageProviderHTTP() # Example: retrieve a file from an HTTP URL # In a Snakefile, simply use http:// or https:// URLs as input # e.g., input: "https://example.com/data.txt" print("Plugin loaded successfully")

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.3.0 adapts to interface 4.0 of snakemake-storage-plugin-base. Ensure snakemake-storage-plugin-base is updated to >=4.0.

fix

Update snakemake-storage-plugin-base: pip install 'snakemake-storage-plugin-base>=4.0'

affects: >=0.3.0

gotchaThe plugin may decompress transparently compressed data (e.g., gzip) by default, which can change file contents unexpectedly.

fix

Check the plugin's configuration options to disable automatic decompression if needed.

affects: >=0.3.1

gotchaIf the HTTP server does not support HEAD requests, use the flag to disable HEAD verb (available since 0.3.0). Failing to do so may cause errors when querying file size.

fix

Set environment variable SNAKEMAKE_STORAGE_HTTP_DISABLE_HEAD=true or configure via Snakemake's plugin settings.

affects: >=0.3.0
