Making downloader library with reqwest .

[bobi6666]

hello, I'm thinking of creating my own downloader based on reqwest crate, but I'm solving 1 problem, if the download fails sometimes I'd like to restore it, but for example if there's a timeout, but only if I use .chunk or .read(&mut buffer); so the first gives me an option and the second an error kind, how can I reliably find out what happened and whether it is worth renewing the download?

You can stream the body of the response with several different methods. I'd suggest looking at the descriptions of each method to determine which would fit your use case.

the chunk method is for async and I would need sync and something that reads into the buffer and returns only errorkind
