In case someone else wants to independently verify it...
The exact test I was doing was with a 70+ meg .tar.gz file both over a 100mbit
ethernet and a 1.5mbit DSL, starting and canceling it multiple times in Windoze
Internet Explorer 5 or 6 (which appears to effectively use byte range requests for
subsequent tries, by the way) and monitoring what was logged each time. This test
isn't super precise on the byte count (I did not bother to go comb my IE cache) but it
sure is obvious when it consistently logs the whole file size and I only received a
small fraction according to the IE progress bar... Also looking at the byte range
requests with %{Range}i makes it obvious how much IE received previously on each
subsequent try (IE appears to only request the part of the file it hasn't cached yet).
I was thinking of writing a script that did this in a more automated fashion...
perhaps contributing a test to the apache test suite when I figure that thing out...
;o)
