Hi all, A few days ago I was asking what makes a server allow returning a partial content (when using the Range HTTP header).
There were some discussions that the core of the server might decide that, that some modules of the server (mod_cgi and mod_php...) decide that, or that the CGI program can be created in such a way so its content can be returned partially. I've tested a little using a cgi program made in perl and a php program that print a few characters, and their content needed to be returned partially. I've made then a cgi program in perl that should get the partial content of those files. Well, using Apache 2.0.4 under Windows let me download both files partially with the specified ranges, without doing anything special in the server settings nor in the cgi script. I just used the Range HTTP header. Probably it doesn't depend on the server modules, or probably my server modules supports this, or the web server core is responsable for that. However, I don't think that there is a setting somewhere where we can choose if we want the server return partial content in order to allow resuming downloads. teddy.fcc.ro [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
