feature request: range-request for `dx data download` #1346

Open lindenb opened 6 months ago

Hi all,

I'm not sure if it already exists or if it can/can't be implemented but it would be nice if dx data download could have a 'range-request' option just like curl ( https://everything.curl.dev/http/ranges ).

For example, I want to extract a small chunck of data from a very large BAM file, I don't need to download the whole bam and its' index, I can ask for the data between byte 'x' and 'y'.
