Pausing shouldn't be a problem because I don't rely on POST requests and I would just buffer up to a certain limit. - Another use case that comes to mind is starting to watch a video file before it is fully downloaded. - Another one would be downloading only the beginning of a file, e.g. for file type identification / thumbnails/ MP3 tags and so on. (How much data is needed is probably not known up front and just using increasing Range headers would require multiple round trips.) - Jonas mentioned incremental rendering of large Word or PDF documents. -- Tillmann Karras
