curl-library

Partially downloading a web page

I’m trying to download part of the html code of a web site. I have attempted
to use the libcurl library and have managed to achieve this for some web
pages using CURLOPT_RANGE. However I cannot get it to work with the web page
that I want to do this to, it would seem that the server does not support
ranges. Does anyone know any way of getting round this.

The part of the web page I want to download is at the beginning of the file.
If it’s not possible to get round the range issue, is it possible to
terminate the download after a specified number of bytes has been received.
I have looked in the libcurl library but cannot determine how to do this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

god of war
