IdHttp: improper range header field?

Subject:IdHttp: improper range header field?

Hi,

using TIdHttp, it is my understanding that Request.ContentRangeStart/End
should be used for download resuming. However as far as I can see this
translates to a "Content-Range" http header field and the http server
does not deliver a partial content (206).

According to RFC2616, section 14.35.2 "Range Retrieval Requests", this
should be a "Range" http header field instead. And its syntax should be
rather "bytes=0-500" instead of "bytes 0-500".

Is this a bug in TIdHttp?

Werner
