Hi All, Per https://svn.tools.ietf.org/svn/wg/httpbis/draft-ietf-httpbis/latest/p1-messaging.html#field.order multiple Range header fields aren't allowed due to the field value containing more than just a comma-separated list (bytes-unit). That being said, there was a discussion on the public-media-fragment@w3.org <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-media-fragment/2009Sep/0064.html> list a few years ago about multiple Range header fields, and in that thread Yves didn't state that multiple Range header fields are prohibited. I'm wondering if this was an oversight or if multiple Range header fields actually appear in the wild and clients expect it to work. If they are allowed, then the Range header needs to be called out as an exception in p1. If not, was this thread just an isolated instance of confusion, or is it worth adding text to p5 to explicitly state that only one Range header is allowed? -- Kenneth Murchison Principal Systems Software Engineer Carnegie Mellon University
