python3-arcp - 0.2.1-7 main

arcp provides functions for creating arcp_ URIs,
which can be used for identifying or parsing hypermedia
files packaged in an archive or package, like a ZIP file.
.
arcp URIs can be used to consume or reference hypermedia resources
bundled inside a file archive or an application package, as well as
to resolve URIs for archive resources within a programmatic framework.
.
This URI scheme provides mechanisms to generate a unique base URI
to represent the root of the archive, so that relative URI references
in a bundled resource can be resolved within the archive without having to
extract the archive content on the local file system.
.
An arcp URI can be used for purposes of isolation (e.g. when consuming
multiple archives), security constraints (avoiding “climb out” from the
archive), or for externally identiyfing sub-resources referenced by
hypermedia formats.
.
Examples:
- ``arcp://uuid,32a423d6-52ab-47e3-a9cd-54f418a48571/doc.html``
- ``arcp://uuid,b7749d0b-0e47-5fc4-999d-f154abe68065/pics/``
- ``arcp://ni,sha-256;F-34D4TUeOfG0selz7REKRDo4XePkewPeQYtjL3vQs0/``
- ``arcp://name,gallery.example.org/``
.
The different forms of URI authority_ in arcp URIs can be used depending
on which uniqueness constraints to apply when addressing an archive.
See the arcp specification
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-soilandreyes-arcp-02) for details.
.
Note that this library only provides mechanisms to
*generate* and *parse* arcp URIs, and do *not* integrate with any
particular archive or URL handling modules like
"zipfile" or "urllib.request".
