Summary: last range within config file used for all requests

Initial Comment:
Specifying multiple url-range tuples in a config file:

url=http://localhost/ten.txt
range=0-1
url=http://localhost/ten.txt
range=2-3

results in range 2-3 being output twice:

# echo -n 0123456789 > /var/www/ten.txt
# curl -s http://localhost/ten.txt
0123456789
# curl -r 0-1 -s http://localhost/ten.txt
01
# for r in 0-1 2-3; do echo url=http://localhost/ten.txt; echo range=$r; done | curl -s -K -
2323
#

# curl -V
curl 7.19.5 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.18.2 OpenSSL/0.9.8g zlib/1.2.3.3 libidn/1.10

running with the --libcurl option shows that the final 'range' value is used for both requests. Compiling the generated C program with the correct ranges and executing results in the expected output.

Message:
This is in fact not a bug, but just now the command line tool works. It is
even quite clearly documented "If this option is used several times, the
last one will be used."

There could be more fancy ways to specify options for specific URLs when
you specify multiple ones, but there aren't. You're then better off either
scripting multiple curl invokes or writing your own tool with libcurl or a
libcurl binding using your favorite scripting language.

If you want to discuss further around this, feel welcome to the curl-users
mailing list!
