How does connection speed affect?
Authored by: chmod007 on Jul 17, '02 06:12:11AM

It doesn't download the complete image. It access it in a random fashion, using resume/continue commands, i would guess. Which is why some servers will not be supported.

Yes, the content is only partially retrieved: here's a sample HTTP request made by hdid:
GET /diskImaget/encrypted.dmg HTTP/1.1.
Host: 192.168.7.12:80.
Range: bytes=0-511.

There is also a side note not yet mentioned: if you mount an encrypted disk image remotely, the encryption is deciphered only after the partial retrieval, that is the data is secured during transmission. (At least that is what it looks like, based on analyzing the HTTP requests sent. I wish someone could confirm this.)
