Description
It would be nice if libcloud could support range requests to objects, this is e.g. supported by Amazon S3 and the boto3 library.
This helps when you store bigger files, but have some kind of index locally to be able to request only parts thereof, for example.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating libcloud's object-storage APIs and provider implementations, then compare how Amazon S3 range requests are represented; done means a consistent range-download capability is defined and tested across the relevant object-storage drivers.
