CURLOPT_RANGE - byte range to request
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RANGE, char *range);
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
"X-Y,N-M". 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
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
not 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.
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.
