DSPX-5111 part 1. A partial decrypt of a very large TDF needs only the ZIP head, the segments covering the requested plaintext, and the tail. retention_plan maps plaintext ranges to those ciphertext extents, ExtentStore keeps just them packed into one small file (not a sparse file, so 50 TiB logical lengths work on any filesystem), and serve() puts a store or a whole file behind a loopback server that honours single and suffix Range requests and logs every request. A read touching a dropped extent gets 410 Gone, never zeros, so a reader that over-fetches fails instead of decrypting garbage. Signed-off-by: sujan kota <sujankota@gmail.com>

Join handler threads before serve() returns.
The test helper reads the complete response before it returns, but each handler appends to log afterward. With server.daemon_threads = True, server_close() does not join those handlers, so the context can exit before the matching Request is appended. The existing tests inspect log after the context exits.
Use non-daemon handlers and bound idle keep-alive reads:
🐛 Suggested fix
class Handler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
protocol_version = "HTTP/1.1"
+ timeout = 5 server = ThreadingHTTPServer(("127.0.0.1", 0), Handler)
- server.daemon_threads = True
+ server.daemon_threads = FalseThis synchronizes log reads after the context exits. It does not synchronize a caller that reads log inside the active with block.

Suggestions from a review pass, about how serve() shuts down and reports server-side failures. None of these break the current unit tests; they matter once SDK clients (keep-alive, retries) are on the other end in DSPX-5117.

Handler threads aren't joined on exit, so log can be incomplete after serve() returns.
ThreadingHTTPServer defaults to daemon_threads = True, and socketserver doesn't track daemon threads, so server_close() never joins them. The "joined on exit" in the docstring only covers the serve_forever thread. Two consequences:
- Every handler appends to
logafter writing the body, so a client can return before the entry exists. Measured locally: in 3000 back-to-back requests, the entry was missing on 13 (~0.4%) whenlen(log)was read right after the response. The current tests only escape this becauseshutdown()blocks for up to 0.5s. - With HTTP/1.1 keep-alive (Go, Java and JS clients all pool connections), an idle handler can outlive the
withblock. It still holdssource, so it can append tologlater orpreadanExtentStoreafterclose().
DSPX-5117's "which ranges did the SDK fetch" assertions will hit this. Suggested fix: join the handlers, and bound the join by giving idle keep-alive connections a timeout:
class Handler(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):
protocol_version = "HTTP/1.1"
timeout = 5 # idle keep-alive handlers exit, so server_close() can join themOptionally, also build the Request before writing the body, so log is accurate inside the with block and not just after it.

Exceptions inside a handler never reach the test.
Nothing overrides handle_error, so an exception in do_GET/do_HEAD (an OSError from pread, a buggy Source, the short read in the other comment) only becomes a traceback on stderr, which pytest captures, plus a dropped connection. SDK HTTP clients often retry an idempotent GET on a reset connection, so a server bug can pass on retry or show up as an unrelated SDK network error. That's the failure mode the 410 design is meant to rule out.
Suggestion: record the exceptions and re-raise them when serve() exits, leaving client disconnects alone (a partial reader may legitimately hang up early). This needs import sys, and the suggested change below depends on it:
errors: list[BaseException] = []
class Server(ThreadingHTTPServer):
def handle_error(self, request, client_address) -> None:
exc = sys.exc_info()[1]
if exc is not None and not isinstance(exc, ConnectionError):
errors.append(exc)
super().handle_error(request, client_address)
server = Server(("127.0.0.1", 0), Handler)Related: the log_message override above also silences log_error, so stdlib-generated errors (501 for unsupported methods, malformed request lines, header-too-long) bypass both log and stderr. Consider silencing only the access log, e.g. by overriding log_request instead.

A short read is sent and logged as a success.
os.pread can return fewer bytes than requested: extents.bin is shorter than the index says, or a FullFile shrank after __init__ cached st_size. Neither read() checks, so do_GET writes a short body after already promising Content-Length: end - start. A keep-alive client then waits for bytes that never come until its timeout, and probably retries. Meanwhile served at L289 is set from the planned chunk end, not len(chunk), so log records a full 206.
Suggest raising on a short read here, and the same in FullFile.read:
def read(self, start: int, end: int) -> bytes:
with self.path.open("rb") as f:
data = os.pread(f.fileno(), end - start, start)
if len(data) != end - start:
raise OSError(f"{self.path}: short read at {start}")
return dataAlso count what was actually written in the do_GET loop:
chunk = source.read(pos, min(pos + _CHUNK, end))
self.wfile.write(chunk)
served += len(chunk)Together with the handle_error change, a short read then fails the test instead of hanging a client.
