Re: Resume FTP download

Due to popular request I have now implemented Range support in
the FTP module using FTP REST command.

Note that Squid does not yet store partial objects, so any partial
objects won't get cached until a user downloads the complete file.

Any partial requests for a already cached object is already served from
cache if the range specification is simle enought that Squid understands
how to handle it. What this patch adds is the use of REST if the file
isn't cached.

See http://hem.passagen.se/hno/squid/ for the implementation.
