Hi all,

From what I've read, any browser and server that conforms to the http
1.1 spec should allow resuming of downloads.

I am trying to setup a server that will allow clients to resume
downloads. I am using a bog standard apache 1.3.20 installation and
several browsers. I've tried IE 5.0, IE 5.5, Netscape 4.76. 

When I start downloading a file, it asks me what to save the file
as. If I interrupt the download and try again, it starts from the
beginning.

If I use wget or fetch off of the same server, for the same file, the
resume works ok. 

Any ideas on what I need to do to allow browsers to continue? 

TIA,
