Ironically, now that I see the logic (did I say that??) behind the HTTP-Range-14 decision, and now that I try to be a good citizen, I run into practical problems of conforming to TAG decisions. How can I arrange for the appropriate redirection response to be given? The TAG gives me helpful advice, with a variety of scripts to use, but all of these require me to modify the special file ".htaccess". And I'm not allowed to do that: I don't have the permissions. Moreover, my systems administrator, who is under most conditions the most helpful and accommodating man, flatly refuses to give me or anyone else write permissions for that file, apparently because to allow access to that file would immediately make our firewall protections compromised to hacker attacks. So I can't possibly follow the TAG advice, and cannot conform to HTTP-Range-14. I feel as though I am in the position of being told that I must use radioactive polonium, but am also told that to have this would be so dangerous that I cannot possibly have it. I wonder if others are in a similar bind?
