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.
