HTTP/1.1 File resume support

Hello !

well since HTTP/1.1 PRotocol support file resuming after a broken download, and many download managers like DAP, GetRight, Flash Get etc are using it ...

so I was wondering how do they do it ?

well i know it's quite easy in FTP where there's a seperate data connection and a seperate commands connection, but what about HTTP/1.1

if you are familiar with it then please tell me

I think with HTTP protocol you can set where to start
like
HTTP.ContentRangeStart= some byteoffset(say 10021)
say 10020 already been downloaded and resume starts

If you use getright, an easier way of see'ing how resumes work is by reading the "Transfer Details" (in the submenu) of an active transfer. There you'll see the headers sent and headers received. The sent headers will show you the exact HTTP request sent by GetRight (including the resume request).
