Re: range request problem

Ok so if the range request feature is not working
then why is it in the configuration file?

If the web site is sending the whole file even
though I want a part of it then how can I solve
this problem with a patch only? Because then the
problem is with the web server I am connecting to.
So I can't solve the problem with a local configuration
change. Right?

Also I am using 2.2 Stable 5, can I apply that patch?
(and I do not have link to Henrik's web page in my bookmarks in
this machine I am using right now)
