IMO it was always an awful idea to even contemplate other range units. * Content-Length can't be specified in other units. * Chunk headers can only be bytes. Framing is in bytes. So it doesn't make sense to use anything other than bytes for Range. Anything else becomes opaque to any intermediary (good-bye cachability). Furthermore Range is commonly stripped from requests by intermediaries that need the whole resource (e.g. for scanning). Adrien -- Adrien de Croy - WinGate Proxy Server - http://www.wingate.com
