resume

I am currently developing an iPhone app, in which involves downloads of up to 300 mb.

I have been told by my hosting service that my server does not support range header requests. However, when I download a file from my server using a download client, like safari download manager, resume options are available and work.

Does this mean that they have a work around for servers that don't support range header requests and that I could possibly implement into my iPhone app? Or are they using a technique too complex to implement into the iPhone.

If you know of a technique code samples will be greatly appreciated.
