Might be true for multipart responses, however this code is also catching
completely separate HTTP sessions, where the URL could be dynamically generated
content, so would merge different pieces of content into a corrupt output,
which I don't think is a safe default.
Possibly should be (same as non-range case, but without mime depth - so is
limited to merging a single response):
{code}
return cat(Analyzer::ANALYZER_HTTP, c$start_time, is_orig,
c$http$trans_depth, id_string(c$id));
{code}

> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: Problem
> Components: Bro
> Affects Versions: git/master, 2.3
> Environment: CentOS 6
> Reporter: Jimmy Jones
> Attachments: fa.bro, sample-samefileid.pcap
>
>
> Attached sample contains two HTTP downloads of the same URL from the same
> client, but there are no guarantees that the files is actually the same (no
> Etags etc - in this case it actually is the same, but lets pretend they were
> different...). However the file analysis framework seems to give the same
> file ID in file_name and file_chunk for both downloads.
> Think this is something to do with Range requests as doesn't happen if do
> "normal" HTTP requests.
