Retrieve a byte range (i.e. a partial document) from an HTTP/1.1, FTP or SFTP
|
|
server or a local FILE. Ranges can be specified in a number of ways.
|
|
.RS
|
|
.TP 10
|
|
.B 0-499
|
|
specifies the first 500 bytes
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 500-999
|
|
specifies the second 500 bytes
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -500
|
|
specifies the last 500 bytes
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 9500-
|
|
specifies the bytes from offset 9500 and forward
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 0-0,-1
|
|
specifies the first and last byte only(*)(HTTP)
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B 100-199,500-599
|
|
specifies two separate 100-byte ranges(*) (HTTP)
|
|
.RE
|
|
.IP
|
|
(*) = 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 will 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.
