Question:
Is there a way for apache to support pause and resume features?
I am using apache 1.3.12
Is there a way for apache webserver to support the pause and resume
functions found in some programs and browsers?
For example, Getright and netscape smartdownloader both pause the
download of files.
Is there a way for apache to support programs that pause and resume
downloads?
Such as Getright and Netscape smartdownloader?
Answer:
-I have no knowledge of these programs, but if they use the proper
HTTP/1.1 method of doing things (byteranges) then apache will support
it by default.
-Every download manager will not resume downloads from any web site even
though web sites support resume. Each download manager says the site does
not support resume downloads which is incorrect. Example - Every download
manager says microsoft web site does not support resume and we all know it
does. I try to download the XP SP2 install file as a test and each download
manager says the web site doesn't suport resume. I've tried DAP, get right,
FDM.
Use www.opera.com nice download manager with it, nothing like getrite,
but I stop and resume with it all the time.
