Hello WebAppSec members, The application I work on is latency-sensitive and uses the Media Source API in concert with XHR to download media bytes. In order to avoid the latency cost of a preflight to each host in our CDN, we have developed a workaround where we use a 'range=' query arg to subset an existing resource. This workaround is suboptimal, and we would prefer to use a Range header, but the latency impact of the extra request has a significant impact on quality of experience. What are your thoughts regarding the addition of 'Range' as a simple request header to allow for this use-case? Thanks for your consideration! Steve
