This PR adds an experimental http server in
experimental.serve. This server can expose stores over http. It can also expose arrays and groups over https. Exposing a store means exposing the entire key: value space of the store. Exposing an array means only exposing the metadata + chunks. Exposing a group means only exposing sub-groups and sub-arrays. See #3731 for more on this distinction.The server is an optional dependency implemented via starlette. It handles byte-range reads and other http methods. CORS headers and allowed methods can be configured. I'm considering handling prefix requests like
foo/barby returning a simple HTML document that lists the visible keys underfoo/bar/, for user-friendliness and to aid httpstore readers that use such responses for listing contents. I'd also like to implement convenience functions for kicking off a server from jupyter and a CLI.Opening as a draft while I work on this.
