Hi, Thanks again for the prompt reply.

If the FileRepresentaton doesn't implement a range request, that'll break it. I believe Chrome does range requests while some other browsers (e.g. Mozilla) don't. It did work with curl so it must be comething related with the interaction with Chrome. Are there any docs, even unofficial, wikis or something that I could use as a starting point to implement a representation that supports range requests and whatever else is needed to make this work? > The idea to prevent direct access to header is not really to be more > general than HTTP, but rather to expose HTTP semantics as a Java API. This > is an aspect we might reconsider, especially for extension headers. Ok, but I think that addHeader static utility method could create the Series<Header> attribute in the request itself. Cause one can find addHeader in the APIs and say "Ah, I can try that", but it's much harder to figure out that you are supposed to add an attribute to the request before that, especially since in the servlet API for example, attributes are an application thing only.
