Re: Is there a way to continue downloads when using WWW::Mechanize?

Basically you need to do what wget -c is doing, which is checking the filesize of the local file, then requesting the uri with a Range header...

update: example


C:\>GET http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/css/+.css
/* Here be PodMaster's modifications/additions */

textarea {width: 100%; height: 25em;}



C:\>GET -H "Range: bytes=50-" http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/css/+
+.css

textarea {width: 100%; height: 25em;}
