Hi!
Which java class do you use to connect to the server? A
HttpURLConnection, or do you open a connection using a simple socket? If
the second is true, maybe you have forgotten to do a flush on the
OutputStream.

Hallo,
i'm developing a small application in Java that needs to connect to a
web server and ask for different chunks of the same file ( for
example: i need the header of an mp3 and a small chunk of the middle
part ).
I tried to code my little HTTP 1.1 client and all was working well
with a "standard" GET request.
I'm getting problems when i insert Range: bytes = offset1-offset2 in
the request.
The webserver ( i tried it on Apache and Microsoft's IES) replies with
a correct header, then waits SEVERAL seconds before sending me the
chunk that i requested.
My application is aimed to be time - critical, so i can't wait 10
seconds before getting the file part i need.
The thing is really strange: if i ask the whole file it takes less to
transfer than the first 10 bytes!
Anyone has an idea please?
Thanks.
Francesco D'Este.
