It's for live audio/video broadcasting, where there's no "start" and "end" to the file for caching purposes. It *might* simplify caching, but it will make the client and server way more complicated than they probably need to be. I think we're best off pushing for increasingly better byte range support in Varnish. Alternatively, we could beef up our Swift (or whatever) infrastructure so that it can deal with the load without having a caching proxy in front. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
