Multiple Range requests in HTTP 1.1
Hi All,
Is it possible to get the full content of a file by using Range Header
in HTTP 1.1? Basically the idea is to use persistent connection with
the server and request for next chunk of specific byte range. Can
multiple Range requests can be sent to server, connecting only once?
one more thing I am unable to understand is what is the minimum range
i can ask for?Sometimes the folowing error is appearing in the
responce. This error string appears after getting some responce (ie.
some chunks)
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>501 Method Not Implemented</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Method Not Implemented</h1>
<p> to /index.html.en not supported.<br />
</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.0.52 (Win32) Server at EC4SEMI-112316.wipro.com Port
80</address>
</body></html>
Basically the confusion is with, How the server will act on the
subsequent requests. Will it give the full responce (with date,server
name and all responce headers) for each request sent and then followed
by data? or it will simply gives responce line for first request only
and then only data(specified data in subsequent range requests) for
subsequent requests?
Any will be appriciated.
Thanks.
