When I wrote Range handling code for Squid, the code parsed or created
multipart responses. I do not know whether that code is still in the
source tree, but I remember bugging HTTP folks about misleading
wording in the RFC when it comes to part boundaries.
The primary point of my correction though was to say that HTTP does
know about multiparts and proxies may want to know as well.
