Hi all,

After trying a few less invasive efforts, I ended up hacking libcurl to
create a CURLOPT_MAXDOWNLOAD option to allow for a hard download size limit.
If this option is used, the download will terminate (gracefully) if it hits
the limit. The attempt has been made to override the Range: option in case of
contentlength > maxdownload limit to minimize impact on HTTP server.

If contentlength < maxdownload limit then it behaves as always.

Changes were applied to 7.9pre3.

gdiff -u is attached.

Comments? Is this worth incorporating into the source tree?
Thanks,
  Lucas.
