in reply to mod_perl handler inside apache 1.x serving partial content - is this possible? How?

So the questions - is it possible to serve partial http requests in mod_perl handlers?

Absolutely, there is nothing special about partial requests

If yes, can you give a hint on what module does it (in order to see how it implements it)?

Read the RFC. A client requests a range of bytes, the server (your handler) sends the bytes requested, or returns an error, all with the required headers (refer to the RFC for those).

The biggest problems I see is forcing apache to return proper status code and accept my Content-Range headers.

Why? Just try it.
