mirror-url 3.1.15

Enterprise-grade remote directory mirroring tool with adaptive concurrency, integrity checks, and SSRF-hardened transport.

MirrorURL

Enterprise-grade remote directory mirroring tool. MirrorURL recursively discovers files behind an HTTP(S) directory listing and mirrors them locally with adaptive concurrency, resumable/partial downloads, integrity verification, and an SSRF-hardened transport layer.

Status: Refactor complete. The full implementation now lives in the src/mirror_url/ package (30 modules), migrated verbatim from the original single-file script per REFACTORING_PLAN.md. The legacy mirror_url.py is retained only as a frozen reference and can be deleted once you've run the test suite against the package in an environment with the runtime dependencies installed (see Development).

Features

• Recursive discovery of remote directory trees (BFS, depth/exclude limits, cycle-safe).
• True parallel downloads — multiple files and multiple chunks per file concurrently.
• Adaptive async concurrency that tunes itself to server RTT, throughput, and error rate.
• Resumable & partial downloads with HTTP range requests and chunk assembly.
• Integrity checks — size/timestamp comparison, ETag handling, content hashing.
• Resilience — per-domain circuit breakers, exponential backoff, rate limiting.
• Security — path-traversal and symlink-bomb defenses, private-IP/SSRF guards, URL-scope enforcement.
• Operability — metrics collection, multi-level progress, optional HTTP health-check server.
• Caching — filesystem and disk-backed indexes to skip unchanged content.

Installation

# From source (editable, recommended during the refactor)
pip install -e ".[all,dev]"

Python 3.9+ is required. Core dependencies: httpx, pydantic (v2), PyYAML. Optional extras: fast (stringzilla, lxml), progress (tqdm), monitor (psutil).

Usage

Run via the console entry point or the module:

mirror-url https://example.com/files/ --output ./mirror
# or
python -m mirror_url https://example.com/files/ --output ./mirror

Run mirror-url --help for the full option list.

Configuration can also be supplied via a YAML file (see MirrorConfig / load_config_from_args).

📖 Full documentation: see the User Guide (HTML version) for detailed installation, CLI reference, config-file format, download modes, security notes, the Python API, and troubleshooting.

🛠 Contributing to the code? The Developer Guide (HTML version) is an architecture deep-dive: dependency layers, the MirrorURL mixin design, runtime data flow, and step-by-step extension recipes.

Development

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pre-commit install

ruff check .          # lint
black --check .       # format check
mypy                  # type-check the new package
pytest -m "not integration"   # fast test lane
pytest                # full suite (includes integration)

Continuous integration runs lint + tests across Python 3.9–3.12 (see .github/workflows/ci.yml).
