Hey there! I always loved the idea of this gem. I love how simple it is. But I've never had reason to use it -- until recently.
I dug in a little and noticed the test suite wasn't really running, so I did a little update to get that working and add
net-httpas an explicit dependency as required by modern ruby. And, sadly, Rubinius is long gone. I also had to remove the basic auth tests because that doesn't seem to be enforced at the test endpoint any more.Then I noticed that the gem does an initial request to get the content-length - but this isn't required. You can ask for the last 4096 bytes of a remote resource by specifying
Range: bytes=-4096which Net::HTTP supports as#set_range(-4096)and which simplifies the implementation.Not sure if you're interested in contributions, but I offer it at your leisure 🙏
