# Download Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
This document explains how goget processes a download request from start to finish — the phase structure, parallel chunking, resume logic, and output writing.

|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 1: Request Construction
|
||||
|
||||
A `core.DownloadRequest` is built from CLI flags and config:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
req := &core.DownloadRequest{
|
||||
URL: parsedURL,
|
||||
Output: outputPath,
|
||||
Resume: resumeEnabled,
|
||||
Timeout: effectiveTimeout,
|
||||
Verbose: verbose,
|
||||
Headers: customHeaders,
|
||||
Proxy: proxyURL,
|
||||
Checksum: expectedChecksum,
|
||||
Parallel: parallelConfig,
|
||||
Recursive: recursiveEnabled,
|
||||
MaxDepth: maxDepth,
|
||||
ProgressCallback: progressFn,
|
||||
Ctx: ctx,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 2: Protocol Resolution
|
||||
|
||||
The protocol registry resolves the handler by URL scheme:
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
flowchart LR
|
||||
URL["https://example.com"]:::accent6
|
||||
Parse["Parse scheme\n→ https"]:::accent7
|
||||
Normalized["Normalize\nhttps → http"]:::accent7
|
||||
Registry["Registry lookup\nprotocols[http]"]:::accent1
|
||||
Handler["HTTP protocol\nhandler"]:::accent1
|
||||
|
||||
URL --> Parse --> Normalized --> Registry --> Handler
|
||||
|
||||
classDef accent1 fill:#22C55E,stroke:#16A34A,color:#fff
|
||||
classDef accent6 fill:#6366F1,stroke:#4F46E5,color:#fff
|
||||
classDef accent7 fill:#64748B,stroke:#475569,color:#fff
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Scheme normalization maps:
|
||||
- `https://` → `http` (same handler)
|
||||
- `ftps://` → `ftp` (same handler)
|
||||
- `webdavs://` → `webdav` (same handler)
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 3: Output Setup
|
||||
|
||||
The `internal/output` package creates an atomic writer:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Temp file** — Writes to `<filename>.goget.tmp` during download
|
||||
2. **Parent directories** — If `--create-dirs` is enabled (default: `true`), missing parent directories are created via `os.MkdirAll` before opening the output file. Pass `--create-dirs=false` to restore strict behaviour
|
||||
3. **Resume metadata** — Reads `<filename>.goget.meta` if resuming
|
||||
4. **Progress callback** — Hooks into the writer for real-time speed/ETA
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
writer, err := output.NewWriter(&output.WriterConfig{
|
||||
Output: outputFile,
|
||||
Atomic: true,
|
||||
Resume: resumeEnabled,
|
||||
CreateDirs: true, // auto-create parent dirs (curl --create-dirs)
|
||||
ProgressCallback: progressFunc,
|
||||
})
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Resume Metadata Format
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"downloaded_bytes": 524288000,
|
||||
"etag": "\"abc123\"",
|
||||
"last_modified": "Mon, 01 Jun 2026 12:00:00 GMT",
|
||||
"url": "https://example.com/file.zip",
|
||||
"last_write": "2026-06-01T12:05:00Z",
|
||||
"chunks": {
|
||||
"0": 131072000,
|
||||
"1": 131072000,
|
||||
"2": 131072000,
|
||||
"3": 131072000
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For parallel downloads, each chunk's progress is individually tracked.
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 4: Download Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Sequential Download
|
||||
|
||||
Used when the file is under 100 MB or `--parallel 1` is set:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
resp, _ := client.Do(request)
|
||||
io.Copy(writer, resp.Body)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Parallel Chunked Download
|
||||
|
||||
Triggered automatically for files over 100 MB, or explicitly with `--parallel N`:
|
||||
|
||||
```mermaid
|
||||
sequenceDiagram
|
||||
participant Main
|
||||
participant Chunk1
|
||||
participant Chunk2
|
||||
participant Chunk3
|
||||
participant Chunk4
|
||||
participant Writer as Atomic Writer
|
||||
|
||||
Main->>Main: HEAD request → get file size
|
||||
Main->>Main: Split into N equal chunks
|
||||
Main->>Chunk1: Start: bytes 0-13107199
|
||||
Main->>Chunk2: Start: bytes 13107200-26214399
|
||||
Main->>Chunk3: Start: bytes 26214400-39321599
|
||||
Main->>Chunk4: Start: bytes 39321600-52428799
|
||||
Chunk1->>Writer: Write bytes to temp/chunk_0
|
||||
Chunk2->>Writer: Write bytes to temp/chunk_1
|
||||
Chunk3->>Writer: Write bytes to temp/chunk_2
|
||||
Chunk4->>Writer: Write bytes to temp/chunk_3
|
||||
Main->>Writer: Merge chunks → final file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Each chunk downloads via a separate HTTP `Range` request:
|
||||
|
||||
```http
|
||||
GET /large.iso HTTP/1.1
|
||||
Host: example.com
|
||||
Range: bytes=13107200-26214399
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Concurrency Control
|
||||
|
||||
- Max 4 parallel connections by default
|
||||
- Customizable via `--parallel N` or config `parallel` key
|
||||
- Min chunk size: 1 MB
|
||||
- Max chunk size: 50 MB
|
||||
|
||||
## Phase 5: Post-Processing
|
||||
|
||||
### Decompression
|
||||
|
||||
If `auto_decompress` is enabled (default) and the server sends compressed content, the response body is transparently decompressed:
|
||||
|
||||
| Content-Encoding | Handler |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `gzip` | `compress/gzip` |
|
||||
| `deflate` | `compress/flate` |
|
||||
| `zlib` | Internal |
|
||||
| `bzip2` | Internal |
|
||||
| `lzw` | Internal |
|
||||
|
||||
Use `--no-decompress` to preserve the compressed response.
|
||||
|
||||
### Checksum Verification
|
||||
|
||||
If `--checksum` or `--checksum-file` is provided, the downloaded file is hashed and compared:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Expected: a1b2c3d4...
|
||||
Actual: a1b2c3d4...
|
||||
Checksum OK
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Supported algorithms: SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA3-256, SHA3-512, BLAKE2b, MD5.
|
||||
|
||||
### Atomic Rename
|
||||
|
||||
On successful completion, the temp file is atomically renamed:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
os.Rename("file.zip.goget.tmp", "file.zip")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If the download fails or is interrupted, the temp file remains for resume.
|
||||
|
||||
### PGP Verification and Decryption
|
||||
|
||||
If `--pgp-verify` or `--pgp-decrypt` is set, the downloaded file is processed via `golang.org/x/crypto/openpgp`:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Detached signature verification** — `--pgp-sig file.sig --pgp-key public.key`
|
||||
- **Decryption** — `--pgp-decrypt --pgp-key private.key --pgp-passphrase "secret"`
|
||||
- Auto-detect signature files: `.asc`, `.sig`
|
||||
|
||||
The decrypted file replaces the encrypted one (`.gpg` → stripped extension, or `.decrypted` suffix).
|
||||
|
||||
### HSTS Cache
|
||||
|
||||
After every successful HTTPS connection, the HSTS cache (`~/.config/goget/hsts`) is updated per RFC 6797. Expired entries are pruned on load. This ensures that future `http://` requests to known hosts are automatically upgraded to `https://`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Graceful Shutdown (SIGINT)
|
||||
|
||||
When the user sends Ctrl+C (SIGINT) during a download, goget persists partial progress to the `.goget.meta` sidecar for **all protocols** (HTTP, FTP, SFTP, WebDAV) and exits with code 130. A subsequent `goget --resume` picks up where it left off. The signal handler uses `signal.NotifyContext` and propagates cancellation through the download pipeline via `ctx.Err()` checks after every read.
|
||||
|
||||
## Smart Timeout
|
||||
|
||||
When no explicit `--timeout` is set, goget calculates a timeout based on file size:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
timeout = (fileSize / minSpeed) × safetyFactor
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Where:
|
||||
- `minSpeed` = 10 KB/s (conservative minimum)
|
||||
- `safetyFactor` = 3.0
|
||||
- `minTimeout` = 30 seconds
|
||||
- `maxTimeout` = 24 hours
|
||||
|
||||
A 1 GB file at 10 KB/s → 34 hours (capped to 24 hours max).
|
||||
A 10 MB file at 10 KB/s → 51 minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rate Limiting
|
||||
|
||||
`--rate-limit` uses a token bucket algorithm:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
bucket := transport.NewTokenBucket(rate)
|
||||
// For each read:
|
||||
bucket.Wait(n)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The token bucket allows short bursts above the limit while maintaining the average rate.
|
||||
|
||||
### Speed Format
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
--rate-limit 1MB/s # 1,000,000 bytes/sec
|
||||
--rate-limit 500KB/s # 500,000 bytes/sec
|
||||
--rate-limit 1GB/s # 1,000,000,000 bytes/sec
|
||||
--rate-limit 100 # 100 bytes/sec (plain number)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Retry Logic
|
||||
|
||||
When a download fails, goget retries with exponential backoff:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Attempt 1: wait 1s, retry
|
||||
Attempt 2: wait 2s, retry
|
||||
Attempt 3: wait 4s, retry
|
||||
...
|
||||
Attempt N: wait min(2^(N-1) × 1s, 30s), retry
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Max retries default to 3. Use `--max-retries N` to increase. Use `--retry-all-errors` to retry on HTTP 4xx/5xx (by default, only 5xx server errors trigger retries).
