#1088 curl http resume doesn't interpret 416 correctly

[Brian Harring]

This is inducable in 7.24.0; following commands replicate it.

rm linux-3.2.2.tar.bz2
curl --output linux-3.2.2.tar.bz2 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.2.2.tar.bz2 && \
curl --output linux-3.2.2.tar.bz2 http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.2.2.tar.bz2 -C -

The returned headers are 416; specifically, the file is completed. Curl however does not handle it correctly, instead assuming resume isn't possible.

I don't understand. Can you please add the exact headers this server returns for the command lines you run to illustrate how curl does it wrong? 416 is quite explicitly about when the range request cannot be satisfied.
