 New Comment:

Since installing the PECL HTTP extension is not always possible
(especially on shared hosts), i fully support this request. Supporting
partial downloads is otherwise impossible.

Description:
------------
To allow resuming http-downloads a php-script must be able to deliver a
specific range from a file. Although you can use fseek to start from a
specific offset, their is no way of telling fpassthru to stop before
the eof.
I would like to see an optional argument 'length', which stops after
sending n bytes. This would be similar to the argument of the fwrite
function.
