tower-http 0.6.8 ServeFile Last-Modified Cache-Control conditional requests documentation source

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In tower-http 0.6.8, the ServeFile service handles conditional requests automatically based on file modification times [1][2]. 1. Last-Modified and Conditional Requests: ServeFile (which is implemented as a thin wrapper around ServeDir) automatically includes the Last-Modified header in its responses [1][3]. It evaluates conditional request headers, including If-Modified-Since and If-Unmodified-Since [1][4]. If the conditions are met (or not met), it appropriately responds with 304 Not Modified or 412 Precondition Failed, respectively [1]. 2. Cache-Control: ServeFile does not automatically set a Cache-Control header [2]. This is a deliberate policy decision by the library, as caching strategies often depend on the specific deployment context (e.g., whether files are versioned) [2]. To set a Cache-Control header, you should use the SetResponseHeaderLayer from the tower-http set-header feature to apply the desired policy to your routes [2]. 3. Implementation Details: ServeFile delegates its request handling to ServeDir [3][5]. In version 0.6.8, the library primarily relies on time-based validation for conditional requests [1][6]. Note that while newer versions (such as those incorporating recent updates) may include ETag support to improve accuracy over If-Modified-Since, 0.6.8 is primarily characterized by its Last-Modified and time-based precondition logic [6].

<title>ServeDir & ServeFile last modified headers handling</title> GitHub pull request 145 in tower-rs/tower-http (link omitted to avoid creating a cross-reference) # ServeDir & ServeFile last modified headers handling - State: merged - Author: zenria - Created: 2021-09-17T15:45:55Z - Updated: 2023-09-23T11:23:51Z - Repository: tower-rs/tower-http - Number: `#145` - +251 -11 in 4 files - Merged: 2022-01-17T08:22:09Z - Merge commit: 83b1f24fc0318f942d22d0735b58f8e05f932a7e --- ~Note: This PR also includes https://github.com/tower-rs/tower-http/pull/137, I will modify it when it will be merged~ ## Motivation ServeDir & ServeFile should respect http caching best practice by setting `Last-Modified` response header and handling `If-Modified_since` & `If-Unmodified-Since` requests headers. ## Solution The `Last-Modified` header is added on responses of ServeFile & ServeDir. `If-Modified_since` & `If-Unmodified-Since` requests headers are handled so the service will respond `NOT_MODIFIED` or `PRECONDITION_FAILED` depending on values set into the headers. ## Timeline - zenria head_ref_force_pushed **davidpdrsn** commented on 2021-11-08T15:22:36Z: > `@zenria` do you merge/rebase the latest master?

Using `httpdate` for parsing is fine. Hyper is also using it. I&`#39`;m sorry but it looks like you&`#39`;ll have to rebase `master` again 😞 At least `ServeFile` has been simplified quite a bit which should make this simpler as well. - zenria head_ref_force_pushed **zenria** commented on 2022-01-07T09:55:54Z: > I&`#39`;ve rebased my branch :) - Review by shepmaster: My comments don’t carry any weight in this repository, just actively reading through to see what changed. - danielalvsaaker subscribed - Review by Nehliin: Nicely done! Thanks for the PR! I have some comments regarding the tests but those extra checks should still pass with this implementation. Also have a comment regarding some unnecessary heap allocations. I will approve this since I personally think my comments can be easily fixed in a follow up pr by either you or me and this has been in the works for some time now.

The repository&`#39`;s pinned verification toolchain uses the 2024 edition; `cargo new` selects that edition automatically. Servers start with `axum::serve(listener, app)` and a `tokio::net::TcpListener`. File-serving lives behind tower-http&`#39`;s opt-in `fs` feature. ... , static file serving is a single line: `express.static` returns a middleware that, for each request, tries to find a matching file under a root directory and streams it, complete with the right `Content-Type`, `Last-Modified`, `ETag`, conditional-request (304) handling, and an optional `maxAge` cache header. Anything it does not find, it passes to the next middleware. ... Note: tower- ... &`#39`;s features are opt-in. `ServeDir`/`ServeFile` need `fs`; the same `fs` feature also enables `.precompressed_gzip()` and friends shown later. You do not need a separate `compression-gzip` feature just to serve pre ... built `.gz` files. ... `ServeDir::new("public")` builds a tower ` ... for each request, maps the request path onto a path under `public/ ... and streams the file if it exists.

This is on by default; disable it ... `.append_index_html_on_directories(false)`. ... - Conditional requests: it honors `If-Modified-Since` and `If-None-Match` and replies `304 Not Modified` (more on this below). - Range requests: `Accept-Ranges: bytes` plus partial `206` responses for video scrubbing and resumable downloads. ... ### `ServeFile` — one specific file ... `ServeFile::new("public/favicon.ico")` is the single-file cousin: every request routed to it serves that one file, ignoring the request path. It is what you use to pin a known file to a known route (`/favicon.ico`, `/robots.txt`) and, importantly, it is the building block of the SPA fallback below. ... | Concern | Express (`express.static`) | Axum (`tower-http`) | | --- | --- | --- | | What it is | A middleware function in the chain | A tower `Service` mounted on the router | | Mounting | `app.use(express.static(dir))` | `.fallback_service(ServeDir::new(dir))` | | Single file | `res.sendFile(path)` in a handler | `ServeFile::new(path)` via `route_service` | | MIME type | Inferred (via `mime` package) | Inferred (via `mime_guess`) | | Conditional GET / 304 | Built in | Built in | | Range requests | Built in | Built in | | SPA fallback | An extra catch-all `app.get("/{*splat}", …)` | `ServeDir::fallback(ServeFile::new("index.html"))` | | Cache-Control | `{ maxAge }` option | A separate `SetResponseHeaderLayer` (tower) | | Pre-compressed assets | Needs `serve-static` config / a plugin | `.precompressed_gzip()` etc., built in | | Missing root dir | Errors per-request | Silently 404s per-request (no startup check) | ... ### Caching: add a `Cache-Control` layer ... `ServeDir` already sets `Last-Modified` and answers conditional requests, but it deliberately does not set `Cache-Control`. That is a policy decision you make per route. Add it with `SetResponseHeaderLayer` from tower-http&`#39`;s `set-header` feature (`cargo add tower-http --features fs,set-header`): ... use tower_http:: ... fn app() -> Router { // Build artifacts are content-hashed (app.4f2a1c.js), so they never change // under a given name -> cache for a year, immutable. let cache_forever = SetResponseHeaderLayer::overriding( header::CACHE_CONTROL, HeaderValue::from_static("public, max-age=31536000, immutable"), ); Router::new() .nest_service("/assets", ServeDir::new("dist/assets")) .layer(cache_forever) } ...

Require revalidation for the permanent BIOS URL.

download_bios_dat serves the configured BIOS_DOWNLOADS path through tower_http::services::ServeFile. ServeFile emits Last-Modified but no Cache-Control. Because /bios/{system} remains stable while the configured file can change, a cache may heuristically reuse an older response without revalidation. A user can then download an outdated DAT file. Set Cache-Control: no-cache.

Proposed fix 
     response.headers_mut().insert(
         header::CONTENT_DISPOSITION,
         HeaderValue::from_str(&format!("attachment; filename=\"{}\"", filename))

     );

Test /bios/{system} through the route. downloads_page_shows_bios_dat_links only checks the rendered hrefs. No test sends a request to get(download_bios_dat). A regression can return NotFound, serve the wrong file, or omit Content-Disposition while the test still passes. Add a request test for a known code that asserts the file response and attachment headers, plus an unknown-code NotFound case.

In `@src/routes/downloads.rs` around lines 96 - 129, Add route-level request tests
for download_bios_dat using a known BIOS code, asserting the expected file
response and attachment headers including Content-Disposition, and an unknown
code asserting NotFound. Keep the existing downloads_page_shows_bios_dat_links
test unchanged.
