This may or may not be useful, but I wrote a bunch of code
which correctly handles the difficult part of multipart/byteranges
and have been using it in real production systems for a while
now.
It's not integrated into any particular web platform, but should be easy
enough to incorporate into your own code. See
http://deron.meranda.us/python/httpheader/
Excellent code and documentation, Deron!
RFC spec. And if you haven't read the RFC closely, I highly
recommend you do. There are some "surprises" in how byte
ranges work that aren't immediately obvious.
Since I posted the messages yesterday, I finished the first cut of a
multi-part range system similar in nature, but not as comprehensive as
your code. I did handle what I think are most of the "surprise"
cases. I'll see how my testing goes today and if I run into problems,
I may just transition over to using your code.
If anybody's really interested in this, I can try to clean this
stuff up and perhaps turn it into a more polished python
package and publish it on PyPI (easy_install). Let me know.
I think that is a great idea.
Thanks again!
