Does it add anything that HTTP can't do with range requests?
I remember hearing that range requests are clunky to implement for HTTP (reverse) proxies, but otherwise they seem to do their job just fine?
- SahAssar 2y agoI'm guessing range requests are not problematic for proxies, just for caches (which are usually proxies also). A pure proxy (reverse or not) should have no problem with a range request.
- lxgr 2y agoAh yes, that's what I meant – problematic for caching proxies. Regular ones can of course just pass through the request.
