In -3 the client side was overhauled to talk in object offsets, so a
range request would ask the store for the relevant bytes, and rather
than getting an opaque stream and range parsing it, it gets the bytes
back; likewise the store insertion by the server side writes offset,
length data into the store, not opaque data.
