HTTP Range header support

[arnaudmm]

Hi,

It looks like xsendfile or X-Accel-Redirect is not supported in Nextcloud (so nginx or apache could manage themself the acceptance of range header)

Is Nextcloud supposed to respect HTTP Range header ? From my point of view it's like it's totally ignoring it.

The problem is my users can't pause/resume download AND Akamai need this headers respected to work.

Any clue on that ?

Thanks

It is supported in all WebDav resources and the PDF viewer or the music app already use that.

We don't support Akamai in front of your Nextcloud because URLs are not yet unique to users and Akamai then doesn't know that there are different files for different users on the same URL.

And what about supporting pause/resume download?

Is this still true that Nextcloud and Akamai are not supported?

Looks like it's still not supported, view big pdf file in nextcloud is horrible.

@xpader: The PDF viewer uses Mozilla's pdf.js:
