Resumable Uploads for HTTP
HTTP data transfers can encounter interruption due to reasons such as
canceled requests or dropped connections. If the intended recipient
can indicate how much of the data was received prior to interruption,
a sender can resume data transfer at that point instead of attempting
to transfer all of the data again. HTTP range requests support this
concept of resumable downloads from server to client. This document
describes a mechanism that supports resumable uploads from client to
server using HTTP.
