I submitted a patch to implement this functionality to the Slide
dev. team over a year ago (Nov. 2001).  The patch was merged into Tomcat
(4.1 and later).  However, this patch was never merged into the Slide source
tree.  You may want to have a look at
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/catalina/src/share/org/apac
he/catalina/servlets/DefaultServlet.java to see how support for PUT
Content-Range was implemented in Tomcat.

Subject: Support for Content-Range in PUT


If I read the HTTP1.1 spec correctly, PUT, as inherited by WebDAV, should
support the Content-Range header or send a 501 (Not implemented) response.
If I read the Slide 1 and 2 WebDAV code correctly, I don't see either
happening. I can confirm, based on tests by my colleagues,  that Slide
1.0.16 just ignores the Content-Range header and stores the range as if it
were the whole content, but we haven't tried this with Slide 2.

If I'm missing something, or if there is work being done on this, please let
me know. Otherwise, I'll look at submitting a patch (could be a while
though).

Thanks,

  Jim
