Re: «--etag-compare» while «--continue-at»

Sorry, I do not know English well. Great sorry.

If I HAVE the FULL downloaded file and I need to PREVENT the downloading of the SAME file, I must
check ETag «If-None-Match», as now at cURL manual. And no error message is need (zero return code).

But if I have ONLY head (or begin) PART of the file and I need to download the tail (or rest, or
end) of the file WITH OPTION «--continue-at», I must check ETag IS EQUAL. ETag for head of the file
must match ETag for the tail of the file. Otherwise head and tail will from DIFFER files. And I
waiting the clear message about ERROR, if not equal, i.e. NON ZERO return code.

It is NOT bug, only my remark. Thank you for beautiful program.
