Hi everyone on this list

I noticed a problem with curl. When a file is already downloaded completely and
curl is executed again using -C - then curl says "curl: (33) HTTP server doesn't
seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume."

$ curl -C - http://www.heise.de -o heise.de
  % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
                                 Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 118k 0 118k 0 0 5522 0 --:--:-- 0:00:21 --:--:-- 14107

$ curl -C - http://www.heise.de -o heise.de
** Resuming transfer from byte position 121015
  % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
                                 Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
  0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:05 --:--:-- 0
curl: (33) HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume.

I don't think that this is the intended behaviour. Wget does notice that the
file is already complete.
