If I am retrieving a file as text/html with content encoding gzip, I can suppose that compression is made on the fly, so it makes sense to say that range applies to the original file and not to the compressed form. On the other hand, if I am retrieving foobar.gz because it is stored this way, it has type application/gzip, and it makes sense to apply range to the gzipped form. My opinion is therefore that range should not apply to the content encoding. .mau.
