Is there anything in PHP which would allow me to check the requested range
of bytes by an client?
Basically one of the download scripts I made some time ago got hit by a load
of requests for a file, but the server was giving back "416 Requested Range
Not Satisfiable". I assume that the user is trying to use a download agent
of some kind, but this was killing my server by soaking up all the memory
with all these requests. What I wanted to do was check this request and
then drop the connection straight away, if it seems suspect, is this
possible?
