Subject: Bug#292376: fnord: Content-range off by one
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 18:16:07 +0100
From: Joachim Berdal Haga <[email protected]>
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <[email protected]>

Package: fnord
Version: 1.8-4
Severity: normal


When a partial file is requested from fnord, the content
returned is 1 byte to short. The reply headers are also
inconsistent. Example: when bytes 0-499 are requested,
the reply says

Content-Length: 499
Content-Range: bytes 0-499/3492946

and 499 bytes are returned. However it should return 500
bytes (see f.x. http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/2068/178.htm),
since the range is inclusive.
