looks good so far.

So, the issue seem to be that leo (apache 2.0.49) does NOT include the
  <Accept-Ranges: bytes
  <Content-Length: 0
  <Content-Range: bytes */1716
information, which gwdg (apache 1.3.27) DOES provide.
Maybe someone familiar with apache vs. apache can give a hint whether
this is a apache config problem, a problem with the apache versions,
a problem with the leo reply being out of spec (non-rfc-conform[tm]) or
a problem with wget (mis)interpreting the server response.

also interesting that both apaches answer a HTTP/1.0 request with a
HTTP/1.1 reply, but this may be legal :)
