Control the download
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 18:37:39 +0300
Hi,
Say I execute a GET request for a .flv from an http server, whereas I'm the
client.
I was wondering how can I change the GET request behavior, so I'll have
control of the response -
let's say for example:
1. Example 1: getting the file in chunks of 100KB (chunk by chunk).
2. Example 2: getting 1MB as fast as possible, and then continue in a
given download rate.
Notes:
. I've seen in the code the CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE MACRO (in curl.h
header file) that calls the maximum amount of data that can be passed to the
write callback.
. I'm using CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION option for a write callback
function
. Also using the CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE option to control the
average download rate
BUT, I need better control of it, any advice?
Thanks
Yoav
