    hi,

    is there a way to limit the download size when using curl? i just want to get the first 1024 bytes of the url I'm downloading.

    thanks in advance.

    I don't think there is a way. For your purpose, I would advise using fsockopen instead.

    i found the solution.

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RANGE, "0-1024");

    Yeah gio that should work but you should also know that sometimes servers ignore this. This is a feature that the server you are requesting a file from should support.
