Bug #1346
closedIf-Range: fails with date specification
ASK QUESTIONS IN Forums:
Description
Hello,
a HTTP 1.1 server has to support If-Range with a regular date specification. Unfortunately, version 1.4.16 fails to do that. Example see below (excerpt from my client's debug log). If-Range and Last-Modified are even a perfect match, but client gets a 200 response instead of "206 Partial Response".

Thank you.
But, at the first glance, there is still one thing to improve: AFAICS you just make a string comparisson, but this would be wrong if the client has a newer copy of the file. IMO the server might decode the strings into time_t values or so and only then compare those values.
