For aria, yes. But the ZYpp aria backend is an extension of the curl
backend, and fallbacks to curl for some operations that aria can't do,
like 1 byte range transfer as a hack to check for file existence on
broken ftp servers.

My fear is that for those operations, libcurl could override what
libzypp set using curl_easy_set_opt (command line parameters equivalent)
with the environment variables, thus overriding arias behavior (actually
inverting it) and making the env variable authoritative.

Does anyone know if curl/libcurl override set_opt with env variables? I
can test, but not now ;-)
