Summary: Return Accept-Ranges from DefaultServlet
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Currently the DefaultServlet accepts the "Ranges" request header, but doesn't
indicate this in its response by returning "Accept-Ranges: bytes". Although
this is not required in HTTP/1.1, setting the header is required in order for
the Adobe Acrobat plugin to correctly handle Linearized PDF's (which can speed
download by allowing random access to a PDF file).
Although it's not strictly necessary according to the specification I can't
think of any reason why this header is not safe to set in a response from
DefaultServlet, which is always dealing with static files, and not doing so has
a negative impact on serving large PDF files - so I'm filing it as a bug rather
than an RFE.
