I don't know. One level of possibly useful support would be simply to have AOLserver parse the byte-range request and make it available via an API. For example, a site that stores large binary objects in a database could use the API to return a byte range. Another level of support would be to make fastpath and ns_returnfile use the byte-range info to return just the requested portion of a file. API. A site that delivers large binary files from a database might find this useful. I implemented this in 3.3+ad12. At ArsDigita we only used AOLserver - we didn't have a separate server for static files.
