[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] curl: Add override_accept_ranges flag to force send


From: Richard W.M. Jones
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH] curl: Add override_accept_ranges flag to force sending range requests.
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 21:48:08 +0100

Some servers (notably VMware ESX) accept range requests, but don't
send back the Accept-Ranges: bytes header in their initial response.

For these servers you can set override_accept_ranges to 'on' which
forces this block driver to send range requests anyway.
