1374199 - System attempts to seek even if range request isn't supported by the server.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P1)

Description

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

From bug 1373618.

Even when the server doesn't support range-request, we will allow the user seeking leading to a silent error later.

STR:
1- Open http://play.dogmazic.net/index.php#song.php?action=show_song&song_id=25592
2- Seek in the middle
3- Playback will stop a few seconds later.

Expected:
- Either seeking isn't permitted at all
or
- We make the seek apparently succeed (like by downloading the entire content first)

The problem with the dogmazic server was that it didn't handle the edge case of requesting "Range: bytes=$contentLength,-" the same was as Apache. I've got a fix for us to handle that in bug 1373618. As best I can tell, our code to detect whether the server byte range requests otherwise works fine. I'm happy to reopen this bug if we find an example to prove otherwise.
