Re^2: IO::All fails on 203 response

Hmmm .... I guess it all means what the meaning of "successful" is. But now I know what I need to do. Thanks.

"203" was a fumble-finger on my part.

Thanks.

If your video player is buffering the content between 1:30 and 1:35, it will issue a request for that chunk of the file. It will get a 206 in response. The request is successful because you got what you asked for. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if I sat on the wire for a video player and saw a stream of 200's instead of 206's. There are plenty of times people do not bother to exercise the entire HTTP spec. #11929 First ask yourself `How would I do this without a computer?' Then have the computer do it the same way.
