Hi all,

See the following testings:

$ curl -s -I http://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian/README |
grep '^Content-Length:'
Content-Length: 1495

$ curl -s -r 1600-1700 http://ftp.cn.debian.org/debian/README 2>&1 >/dev/
null

$ echo $?
0

So strange. In the above case, the requested range is entirely out of
the ranges of the file. But still curl will return will status of 0.

Notes. WRT the curl version for my case, see the following:

$ curl -V
curl 7.42.0-DEV (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.42.0-DEV
