Transfer Download

File downloads with progress and verification. See examples/download.zig and examples/downloadVerify.zig.

var client = httpx.Client.init(allocator, io, .{});
defer client.deinit();

const res = try client.download(url, .{
    .path = "downloads/",
    .progress = .auto,
    .existing = .overwrite,
    .createDirs = true,
});
std.debug.print("Downloaded: {s} ({d} bytes)\n", .{
    res.destinationPath(), res.downloadedBytes,
});

Expected Output

Downloaded: downloads/90 (90 bytes)

The destination path and byte count reflect the requested URL and vary by download; timings vary per run. Requires network access to the download URL. See examples/download.zig (run-download) and examples/downloadVerify.zig.

Run

zig build run-download

What to Verify

• Successful HTTP status code.
• File lands on disk with the expected byte count.
