Ohmygod, I don't think we've really ever contemplated how Range requests should work with PUT. Personally, I think it should be disallowed. Illegal. An error. MUST NOT send. ABEND, eh?, forbidden, protocol violation; horns should go off, alarms should ring, etc. Also with POST and DELETE. Otherwise, you might have people believing that DELETE with Range: 10-12 means delete just those bytes? Range is like "accept", it's a request-header that applies to the result, not the operation. Regards, Larry
