Hi Silvia, >> - For #11, #12, #14 and #16: I suggest we force a 206 answer, with the >> rationale that a fragment has been requested (that might be equal to the >> entire resource but this is similar to case #01!). > > It's not really up to us, but it's up to the UA.

We have further discussed this during today's telecon, but for the record: my rationale is that as soon as a Range request is issued, a 206 Partial Content should be returned. Therefore, the problem amounts to whether the UA should issue a Range request at all when it notices the fragment will be equal to the entire resource. I understand the good will of optimizing the communication between the UA and the server but I think we should not put too far away the intelligence that the UA should have.
