CURLOPT_RANGE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
NAME
CURLOPT_RANGE - set byte range to request
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RANGE, char *range);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a char * as parameter, which should contain the specified range you want to retrieve. 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 "X-Y,N-M". Using this kind of multiple intervals will cause the HTTP server to send the response document in pieces (using standard MIME separation techniques). For RTSP, the formatting of a range should follow RFC2326 Section 12.29. For RTSP, byte ranges are not permitted. Instead, ranges should be given in npt, utc, or smpte formats. Pass a NULL to this option to disable the use of ranges.
DEFAULT
NULL
PROTOCOLS
HTTP, FTP, FILE, RTSP and SFTP.
EXAMPLE

if(curl) {
 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

 /* Perform the request */
 curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
