A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Server Oriented Range Responses Author(s) : Kevin Fall Filename : draft-kfall-httpbis-server-ranges-00.txt Pages : 7 Date : 2012-10-15 Abstract: This document clarifies the semantics associated with the Content-Range HTTP header and associated Partial Content (206) response code. It specifically allows a server to produce a Content-Range response whose range is a subrange of the corresponding range requested using a previous Range request. The HTTP protocol syntax is not modified. Instead, this document clarifies that a server responding to a client requesting a range (x-y) may respond with a range ((x+e)-(y-f)) for nonzero integers e,f such that (x+e) < (y-f). In addition, it clarifies the semantics of Request ranges which contain only a starting value.
