Experts,

Is there a way to control the amount of bytes receive from the server per second ? What request information that i need to submit to the server so that the server understand and send the required amount of bytes at the specified speed... can this be done in vb6.........

you see, that the flash get has the adjustable download speed .... i want to have that too .... what should i look into now ?


i get this from rfc http 1.1 :
------------------------------------
The Accept-Ranges response-header field allows the server to
indicate its acceptance of range requests for a resource:

Accept-Ranges = "Accept-Ranges" ":" acceptable-ranges
acceptable-ranges = 1#range-unit | "none"

Origin servers that accept byte-range requests MAY send

Accept-Ranges: bytes

but are not required to do so. Clients MAY generate byte-range
requests without having received this header for the resource
involved. Range units are defined in section 3.12.

Servers that do not accept any kind of range request for a
resource MAY send

Accept-Ranges: none

to advise the client not to attempt a range request.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


but unfortunately, i dont quite understand what this means... can anyone explain this to me please?
