Hello,

I'm building a webserver as a hobby and I ran into a problem while
sending a file with the Content-Range directive.
I have a 70634 byte file which I transfer to the client in three steps:

HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Date: =)
Server: nifnaf
Last-Modified: =)
Connection: Close
Content-Location: http://localhost:20051/Changes/index.html
Content-Length: 32768
Content-type: text/html
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Range: bytes 0-32767/70634

HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Date: =)
Server: nifnaf
Last-Modified: =)
Connection: Close
Content-Location: http://localhost:20051/Changes/index.html
Content-Length: 32768
Content-type: text/html
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Range: bytes 32768-65535/70634

HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Date: =)
Server: nifnaf
Last-Modified: =)
Connection: Close
Content-Location: http://localhost:20051/Changes/index.html
Content-Length: 5098
Content-type: text/html
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Range: bytes 65536-70633/70634

The problem is that only the first segment (0-32767/70634) is being displayed
in the browser. My question is whether the server has authority to specify Content-Range
without the client's Range request and still hope that the content will be fully recieved?

Thanks,
Mihail
