After having read some of your replies, I think you're actually
talking about a server sending two range replies, rather than a User
Agent sending two range requests. I don't have an issue with that, as
long as they don't contradict each other. If they contradict, I don't
think a User Agent can clearly decide which is the truthful one and
may need to assume that the server gave a broken reply...
