It may be possible to get what you want using the 'blocksize'
and 'progress'.

With 'blocksize' you indicate the numbers of bytes that will
be received before invoking the callback set with 'progress'.

In that callback you can use http::reset to stop the transfer.

I don't know if it will work, but it is worth a try.
