A question has come up, is it legal for a server to send a multipart/byteranges with a single range? This apparently causes some very ugly code on the client side if it is legal. The following is an excerpt from section 19.2 of RFC 2068: 19.2 Internet Media Type multipart/byteranges When an HTTP message includes the content of multiple ranges (for example, a response to a request for multiple non-overlapping ranges), these are transmitted as a multipart MIME message. The multipart media type for this purpose is called "multipart/byteranges". My reading of this section is that a multipart/byteranges can only be sent if there are byte rangeS but there has still been some question. 1) Is it correct that multipart/byteranges can only be used if there are multiple, as in more than one, byteranges? 2) Either way, can we put in a sentence to clarify the matter?
