How can I do a partial download with HTTP?
'the actual byte range HTTP1.Range = "0-499" 'get only the first 500 bytes HTTP1.Get URL
The format of the Range property consist of a range of bytes specified by two numbers separated by '-' (e.g. "0-499") For example: First 500 bytes 0-499 Second 500 bytes 500-999 Final 500 bytes -500
Older versions of IPWorks do not contain a Range property and must use the OtherHeader property to manually set this header, as well as setting the HTTP/1.1 protocol in the HTTPVersion property.
