HiI noticed that "wget -c" chokes on already completed downloads. It retries indefinitely - because it doesn't like the response Apache sends.
RFC 2616 suggests apache SHOULD return "416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable" in this case. Instead, Apache returns "206 Partial content" with a Content-Length of 0. That's arguably legal -- but then it says "Content-Range: bytes */9597", which is not legal for a 206 response. "bytes *" means "invalid range", and is only allowed for a 416.
Is this a known bug, or should I report it to Bugzilla? Thanks Alan References: <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-14.16> Steps to reproduce: 1. Download a page e.g."wget http://httpd.apache.org/"; -> index.html is successfully downloaded 2. Try re-downloading it with e.g. "wget -S -c http://httpd.apache.org/"; -> wget fails, retrying indefinitely: --2010-01-22 15:56:17-- http://httpd.apache.org/ Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1, ::1 Connecting to localhost|127.0.0.1|:8123... connected.
