Byte Range implementation fix

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 Description of problem: There is a fix for apache bugzilla bugs #11601 and #18913 which should be applied to Redhat until it can ship >= 2.0.44 Whenever an apache request does not return the file, eg 404, 401, 304, and the request has a Range: header, the byterange code incorrectly does it's thing anyway and does illogical things to the response. Apache 2.0 CVS revision 1.463 of modules/http/http_protocol.c contains the patch to fix it. Very minor change with a big effect on byte-range requests. Here's the official diff: http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/httpd-2.0/modules/http/http_protocol.c.diff?r1=1.462&r2=1.463 Thanks, reapplying the patch by hand every time there's an erratum would be a pain. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Prior to 2.0.44, using httpd-2.0.40-11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.# curl -i -r bytes=0-9 -z 'Sat, 21 Dec 2002 06:46:30 GMT' http://nagoya.apache.org/ 2.run the command above with the current time stamp Actual Results: If they are still running 2.0.40: HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable Expected Results: If the time stamp is currect: HTTP/1.1 304 Not Changed Additional info: Also affects rh 9.0
Fix is being integrated for the next erratum. Thanks for filing the bug.
