MUST use strong comparison for Range requests

           Summary: MUST use strong comparison for Range requests
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: All
               URL: http://coad.measurement-factory.com/cgi-
                    bin/coad/GraseInfoCgi?session=bug&info_id=test_clause/rf
                    c2616/rangedIfCmp
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cache
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: coad@measurement-factory.com


Looks like a possible RFC 2616 MUST violation.  Note that
LMT is weak in this context because it is less than 60
seconds apart from Date.  The initial severity was elevated
from "normal" because the bug may cause content corruption
in clients/caches that merge ranged responses.

While slightly different rules apply to origin servers, the
Apache origin server probably has the same kind of problem.
There are no Co-Advisor traces to prove that.

See attached trace(s) for details and ways to reproduce
the violation mentioned above.

Test case IDs in the trace link to human-oriented test case
description and RFC quotes, if available.
