Daniel Stenberg	c2d37463b9	curl/var: change byte offset syntax for assignments ... Follow-up to 40c264db61 after discussions on IRC. The new style is name[0-99]=contents and name[0-99]@filename A) This does not cause the same problems with old curl versions trying the new syntax as this way will cause old curls just fail with syntax error and not risk using the wrong file. B) Adds the same byte range support for "normal" assigns, which the previous syntax did not. Thus lets a user get a partial content of a variable etc. Added test 790 and 791 to verify non-file assigns with ranges. Closes #15862	2024-12-30 15:55:54 +01:00
Daniel Stenberg	40c264db61	curl: add byte range support to --variable reading from file ... Allowing --variable read a portion of provided files, makes curl work on partial files for any options that accepts strings. Like --data and others. The byte offset is provided within brackets, with a semicolon separator like: --variable name@file;[100-200]" Inspired by #14479 Assisted-by: Manuel Einfalt Test 784 - 789. Documentation update provided. Closes #15739	2024-12-21 11:46:27 +01:00
