I was trying to debug the Polipo (head brandh) compatibility with netflix
app on the iPad. I found the following:
When netflix app sends the first HTTP GET request it gets the HTTP response
as 302 from the netflix server. So now instead of forwarding the same code
to netflix app, Polipo send out 416 code with the following message
"Requested range not satisfiable". I believe from here everything starts
going wrong and app fails to play the video.
I have found a fix for that. So when request->to & request->from are less
then 0, apart form checking the request method as HEAD, we should check for
request method GET also. As I am doing below:
if((request->from <= 0 && request->to < 0) ||
request->method == METHOD_HEAD || request->method == METHOD_GET) {
Please help me to understand, if this fix is a legitimate fix, does anyone
sees any side effect of it.
Thanks,
