sockets - how to retrieve on parts?
Posted by yontihy [send private reply] at August 31, 2001, 08:40:58 AM
how can i retrieve a file from a HTTP server on parts? I mean - how to program a client socket(s) to get the file begining from the 1000th byte, not from the begining of the file? is this possible?

Just first read 999 bytes and discard the values.

I don't recall that being in the HTTP protocol. If it is, you should search for the RFC for HTTP and look up whether there is a header to send that will do that. :) Otherwise.... try FTP.

Im 100% certain HTTP allows it, because most websites allow you to resume files, i know recent apache does, i do it all the time.
I cant remember what the header name is tho, soz.
