SPUG: Perl Download Manager

[Ken Clarke]

RFC 2616 (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html) replaces RFC
2068.

Maybe start with something like this:

use HTTP::Request::Common;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
$res = $ua -> get($URL);
$body = $res -> content();
$offset = 0;
while ($res -> code() == 206) {
    $offset += $ua -> content_length;
    $res = $ua -> get($URL, Range => $offset.':bytes');
    $body .= $res -> content();
}
