Yes the goal is to have it stored on disk in some form, not in memory.

This may be another case of not enough sleep combined with reading rfc's
:-], but...

when we start caching range responses, we will have a content-range
(?from mem) header, and MAY have a content length header. However if we
receive transfer-encoded range responses (quite likely - say pdf files),
we will have a content-range header but no content-length header.
Regarding handling them : that was my point - why put in place code that
will be obsolete or broken in the near future?
