Partial Content...

Hi All - I posted this question a few days ago on squid-users with no
response, so I thought I'd try again here. Basically, I'm looking into how
to start working on implementing "Partial Content" responses, so I had a
few general questions. I've also spoken to Rob Collins about this a
little, but he suggested I bring the discussion over here...

So - here are my questions:

I wanted to inquire about any other extensions that might support "Partial
Content" (or something similar in nature) as part of their implementation
(for example, caching streaming data in Squid).

Also, I wanted to ask if anyone knew whether any of the other caches out
there support partial content. I looked into Apache, but couldn't find it
in the documentation. I would assume it must, since the filesystem support
must already be there for the server. I was wondering if anyone on here
knew anything about it (or any other cache whose source code I can take a
gander at) offhand.

Finally, I spoke with Rob Collins and he mentioned that objects in memory
can be sparse in Squid 3, but I was a little unclear what this meant. Can
anyone clear this up for me and explain why it's needed for Partial
Response caching?

Thanks,
Leeann
