  • r' - resumes the processing
  • t - uses .part file if necessary
  • c - cancel the processing
• target - the output: the filename if you used f, or a &binvar for b
• alias - the name of the alias that is called at the end, this alias is called as a command with one parameter passed to it: the ID
• headers - optional, a &binvar containing the headers to be sent, separated by $crlf
• body - optional, a &binvar containing the data to be sent when you are POSTing
