- Short: Resume interrupted HTTP downloads
- Uploader: Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony@bigfoot.com>
- Author: Andrija Antonijevic <TheAntony@bigfoot.com>
- Type: comm/www
- Requires: A TCP/IP stack
- Version: 1.0
-
- From HTTPResume.guide:
-
- I just saw this thing on the 'net and I would like to download it!
- It's 6+ MB? No problem!
-
- [After a while]
-
- Almost done... Few kilobytes to go... <Put your favorite reason for
- download to be interrupted> Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh! It can do that to me!!!
-
- I'm sure you've been in this situation at least once. It's nice when
- you discover that you have to download the whole thing again just because
- few kBs are missing... Of course, you might be lucky to find the same
- thing on FTP site and continue downloading from the point it was
- interrupted, but it's not always like that. This program will let
- you continue interrupted downloads, but only from servers which support
- this i.e. servers that use HTTP 1.1 protocol. There are more and more
- servers of this type every day, so it should be easy to find them...
- I hope O:) (wuarchive.wustl.edu is one of those servers) Anyway, this
- program is intended to be just a temporary solution before all Amiga
- browsers become capable of supporting this feature. Note that program
- is called HTTPResume. You can not use it to continue interrupted FTP
- downloads nor any other kind except HTTP. HTTPResume will act as HTTPGet
- in cases when you give it XYZ protocol and even will let you this only
- when using proxy.
