re7zip

This tools allows to extract files directly from an archive hosted at a remote HTTP server.

Underneath the hood we use 7-Zip-JBinding library (based on 7-zip) to extract files. This tool was made with the purpose of (for example) extracting a file from a big ISO files somewhere on the Internet without need to download the whole ISO file.

All the archives supported by 7-zip are supported by this tool, this includes:

• auto (autodect archive type: default)
• zip
• tar
• split
• rar
• rar5
• lzma
• iso
• hfs
• gzip
• cpio
• bzip2
• 7z
• z
• arj
• cab
• lzh
• chm
• nsis
• ar
• rpm
• udf
• wim
• xar
• fat
• ntfs
