I do not like the idea of byte ranges being part of a URL. In DynaWeb for example http://www.ebt.com/collection/readers?byterange=1-500 is absolutely meaningless, because the actual file size is not related to the size of the documents retrieved. Worse even, there are cases (and DynaWeb is one) where a single URL can possibly reference documents that differ in an arbitrary manner. In other words, byte ranges are not generally applicable to all objects accessible via a URL, so we cannot make this a requirement. How about adding another method instead?Received on Thursday, 18 May 1995 05:44:01 UTC
