this seems to be another good reason to put Squid in front of Zope. It handles byte requests by his own, loading the whole object from Zope at once.
Ah...I hadn't thought of this. Yes, it would not only get around this (temporary?!) problem, but it could be a way to move some processing away from our Zope servers (ZEO clients) - something I'm constantly trying to do. I'm pretty locked in to Apache right now (for features like SSL and PostgreSQL logging), but I think I can see how you might instruct a proxy to only provide this byterange service when Zope signals static content by returning an Accept-Ranges header. It's tempting to build this into Apache's proxy module. It's been several years since I touched that, though. I doubt I'll do it anytime soon, but I'll be watching for it as an option later. Thanks for the pointer. --kyler
