(*) = NOTE that this will cause the server to reply with a multipart

response, which will be returned as-is by curl! Parsing or otherwise

transforming this response is the responsibility of the caller.

|
|
Only digit characters (0-9) are valid in the 'start' and 'stop' fields of the
|
|
|
|
|
\&'start-stop' range syntax. If a non-digit character is given in the range,
|
|
|
|
|
the server's response will be unspecified, depending on the server's
|
|
|
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should also be aware that many HTTP/1.1 servers do not have this feature
|
|
|
|
|
enabled, so that when you attempt to get a range, you'll instead get the whole
|
|
|
|
|
document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FTP and SFTP range downloads only support the simple 'start-stop' syntax
|
|
|
|
|
(optionally with one of the numbers omitted). FTP use depends on the extended
|
|
|
|
|
FTP command SIZE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
