Since HTTPS is "the new normal", this update changes a lot of man page examples to use https://example.com instead of the previous "http://..." Closes #5969

.TH CURLOPT_RANGE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
CURLOPT_RANGE \- set byte range to request
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
|
|
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RANGE, char *range);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Pass a char * as parameter, which should contain the specified range you want
|
|
to retrieve. It should be in the format "X-Y", where either X or Y may be left
|
|
out and X and Y are byte indexes.
|
|
|
|
HTTP transfers also support several intervals, separated with commas as in
|
|
\fI"X-Y,N-M"\fP. Using this kind of multiple intervals will cause the HTTP
|
|
server to send the response document in pieces (using standard MIME separation
|
|
techniques). Unfortunately, the HTTP standard (RFC 7233 section 3.1) allows
|
|
servers to ignore range requests so even when you set \fICURLOPT_RANGE(3)\fP
|
|
for a request, you may end up getting the full response sent back.
|
|
|
|
For RTSP, the formatting of a range should follow RFC2326 Section 12.29. For
|
|
RTSP, byte ranges are \fBnot\fP permitted. Instead, ranges should be given in
|
|
npt, utc, or smpte formats.
|
|
|
|
For HTTP PUT uploads this option should not be used, since it may conflict with
|
|
other options. If you need to upload arbitrary parts of a file (like for
|
|
Amazon's web services) support is limited. We suggest set resume position using
|
|
\fICURLOPT_RESUME_FROM(3)\fP, set end (resume+size) position using
|
|
\fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3)\fP and seek to the resume position before initiating
|
|
the transfer for each part. For more information refer to
|
|
https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2019-05/0012.html
|
|
|
|
Pass a NULL to this option to disable the use of ranges.
|
|
|
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
|
option.
|
|
.SH DEFAULT
|
|
NULL
|
|
.SH PROTOCOLS
|
|
HTTP, FTP, FILE, RTSP and SFTP.
|
|
