Can load a video into a video tag in chrome. Press play and pause. See it makes a single request and buffers the whole video.

  If you stick: <video controls> <source src="/video/sample.mp4" type="video/mp4"> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> into a html file, and run it against this pastebin [0], you'll see that chrome (and safari) both do range requests out of the box if the fileis big enough.

    Tried it on a 800mb file. Single request.

      I tried it on 4 different files, and in each case my browser sent a request, my server responded with a 206 and it grabbed chunks as it went.
