rootio: add support for reading ROOT files over http/https
See: scikit-hep/uproot#50.
It would be great if rootio
had also support for reading ROOT files over http.
A possible angle to tackle this would be the following:
- issue
req.Header.Add("Range", "bytes=0-1023")
byte ranges to get theTFile
header and footer (to decipher theStreamerInfos
) - in parallel, stream in the whole file
perhaps use:
In the meantime, just download the whole file and store it locally under $TMP
.
