Hello,

I just tried to resume a transfer of a large file from a publicfile 0.52
httpd with curl 7.9.8 and got the errror message 

curl: (33) HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot
resume.

Is this basic, important feature (the Range: header) indeed not
supported? Is it planned for an upcoming release? Are there patches to
implement it? It is specified in RFC 2616 ยง 14.35.2

Regards,
