more on byte ranges...

	GET /~marcs/100.html HTTP/1.0
	Range: bytes=90-120

	HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content

2068:

   If the server ignores a byte-range-spec because it is invalid, the
   server should treat the request as if the invalid Range header field
   did not exist. (Normally, this means return a 200 response containing
   the full entity). The reason is that the only time a client will make
   such an invalid request is when the entity is smaller than the entity
   retrieved by a prior request.

Is the byte range I specified invalid (only a 101 byte file) and should
Apache be ignoring it, or is the current behavior correct?

Same for requests like:

	GET /~marcs/100.html HTTP/1.0
	Range: bytes=1-10,2000-20
