Is the Django community interested in supporting HTTP range requests in django.views.static.serve<https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/views/static.py> ?
The primary benefit I see is that it makes files served up for <video> and <audio> "seek-able" with the django server. This generally isn't a problem for small files (except in Chrome<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8088364/html5-video-will-not-loop>), but becomes an issue for larger ones. Werkzeug has a function that parses the range header<https://github.com/mitsuhiko/werkzeug/blob/5eed9385b861a1ae53c03eaae5a8dea4480113d6/werkzeug/http.py#L494>, which I used to support range requests in a Django application. I estimate that robust support for HTTP range requests would cost <300 lines of code, plus tests. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
