DuckDB HTTPFS extension

The httpfs extension is an autoloadable extension implementing a file system that allows reading remote/writing remote files. For plain HTTP(S), only file reading is supported. For object storage using the S3 API, the httpfs extension supports reading/writing/globbing files.

Building & Loading the Extension

The DuckDB submodule must be initialized prior to building.

git submodule init
git pull --recurse-submodules

To build, type

make

Testing

Testing uses a local MinIO setup using Docker. See the testing documentation for more information on how to set this up locally.
