Pick your limit and if the range value exceeds it they could still be perfectly valid, just relay without local handling. HTTP does not have to impose any restrictions here. For example, there are range requests floating around the Internet for TB and PB sized objects. But systems with local 32-bit limits are still able to relay them when implemented correctly. AYJ
