unzip-http

Extract individual files from .zip files over http without downloading the entire archive.

Install

pip install unzip-http

Usage

unzip_http [-l] [-f] [-o] <url> <filenames..>

Extract from a remote .zip at <url> to stdout.

A filename can be a wildcard glob; all matching files are extracted in this case.

Specify multiple filenames as distinct arguments (separated with spaces on the command line).

Note: HTTP server must send Accept-Ranges: bytes and Content-Length in headers (most do).

Options:

  • -l: List files in remote .zip file (default if no filenames given)
  • -f: Recreate folder structure from .zip file when extracting (instead of extracting files to the current directly to the current directory)
  • -o: Write files to stdout (if multiple files, concatenate them in zipfile order)

Python module unzip_http

import unzip_http

rzf = unzip_http.RemoteZipFile('https://example.com/foo.zip')
binfp = rzf.open('bar.bin')
txtfp = rzf.open_text('baz.txt')
