    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1814?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12916947#action_12916947 ] 

Alexander Klimetschek commented on SLING-1814:
----------------------------------------------

To add a use case: Mobile Safari variants (iPhone/iPad) display media files only if the Range-Header is supported:

http://developer.apple.com/library/safari/#documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/CreatingVideoforSafarioniPhone/CreatingVideoforSafarioniPhone.html
("Configuring your server" at the end of that page)

The Range header specification is in RFC-2616, section 14.35:
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.35.1
