I have Android 1.5 on the Cliq and don't know anything about 2.1 or
2.2 or whatever, so I'm asking this here.

I've noticed a LOT of HTTP software is stuck in the 80s.  HTTP RESUME
never happens-- not in Chrome (5), not in Firefox (3.6), not in IE.
On Android, 3G can fail and then downloading a 200MB file might result
in 170MB getting deleted off a 16GB SD card with 8GB free.  I find it
impossible to resume a download.  Also sometimes a download file comes
down with a different name due to odd counting scripts if you try to
resume... but that's a secondary issue.

Does the browser in 2.1 or 2.2 yet support resuming?  Will it keep a
half-downloaded file, and then ask the user if he wants to resume or
change the file name?  Store information (i.e. URI etc) about a half-
downloaded file to blindly re-attempt later?

If not, that's viable ... probably to file in Chrome's issue tracker
first, then in Android's. Thought I'd check first.
