Ashok Kumar commented on SLING-6046:
------------------------------------
[~reschke] , For other browsers its not required but IE and edge both wait for
this response header before making requests with Range header. Below is excerpt
sent by customer
---------------------------------
<i>"and alongside I have also reproduced the problem with Microsoft Edge. That
would imply a large number of browsers not supporting partial content."</i>
------------------------------------
> While Streaming Video to IE 11, StreamRendererServlet do not use Partial
> Content Response [code 206]

> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug

> Affects Versions: Servlets Get 2.1.18
> Reporter: Ashok Kumar
> Attachments: StreamRendererServlet.java.patch

> Since IE 11 expects "Accept-Ranges" [0] response header to start making
> requests with Range header, so sling lack in streaming of video content for
> IE end users. We can add Accept-Ranges = bytes header to response , either
> selectively only for video/mp4 mimetype ( video tag on IE looks for mp4 ) or
> always.
> Without support of partial content response (206) for IE users, all large
> video files are being downloaded in single chunk and user need to wait for
> long to see video content playing.
