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 causes 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 RFC 2326 Section 12.29. For -RTSP, byte ranges are \fBnot\fP permitted. Instead, ranges should be given in -\fBnpt\fP, \fButc\fP, or \fBsmpte\fP 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. -.SH DEFAULT -NULL -.SH PROTOCOLS -HTTP, FTP, FILE, RTSP and SFTP. -.SH EXAMPLE -.nf -CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); -if(curl) { - curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com"); - - /* get the first 200 bytes */ - curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RANGE, "0-199"); - - /* Perform the request */ - curl_easy_perform(curl); -} -.fi -.SH AVAILABILITY -FILE since 7.18.0, RTSP since 7.20.0 -.SH RETURN VALUE -Returns CURLE_OK on success or -CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.BR CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT (3), -.BR CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE (3), -.BR CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE (3), -.BR CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM (3) |
