http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6450 error-by-one in partial HTTP/1.1 GET requests Summary: error-by-one in partial HTTP/1.1 GET requests Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0.1 Final Platform: PC URL: www.activesky.com OS/Version: Windows NT/2K Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Unknown AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Given nonnegative integers m, n where m < n Given an HTTP/1.1 request like GET http://<myhost>:<myport>/data.html HTTP/1.1 Range:bytes=<m>-<n> (no angle brackets around m and n, of course), Tomcat responds with only bytes (m) through (n-1). Given an HTTP/1.1 request like GET http://myhost:<myport>/data.html HTTP/1.1 Range:bytes=-<n> (no angle brackets around n, of course), Tomcat responds with only the last (n- 1) bytes of data. Therefore, it appears impossible to get the last byte of a file using partial GETs under HTTP/1.1. The way I read RFC2616, byte ranges are supposed to be inclusive, start at 0 and end at one less than the file length (section 14.35.1). Help please? Any suggestions how I can work around this?
