Re: [whatwg/fetch] Interop issue with range requests when the server sends more bytes than it says (#1295)

That's another issue - due to the linear nature of time, it's not always possible to know if there are more bytes on the wire after you've received 1000 bytes, so browsers don't even try to check for extra bytes.  Also, it's not possible to cancel a read on a socket to check if there are any extra bytes (And, e.g., in the case of SSL, more extra bytes does not mean more extra data), so things can get a bit involved.
