Hi,
We've noticed that when downloading files through squid 2.7 (as a
reverse proxy) via MSIE 7 or 8 beta, MSIE will not resume partially-
completed downloads, which it does normally when downloading from
other web servers. This appears to be MSIE-specific behavior - the
second request has a Range:, If-Range:, and If-Unmodified-Since header
keyed to the point where the original download was cancelled when
downloading from a "typical" web server, while requests sent to squid
do not contain these headers.
My best guess is that either because squid's server response is HTTP/
1.0, or due to the Via: header (the only two differences between
response headers from squid, and response headers from the origin
server), MSIE presumes that the server does not support Range: and
related headers, and as such does not attempt to use these to resume
aborted downloads.
Has anyone else noticed this? If so, has anyone come up with a
workaround at all?
Thanks,
-Chris
