That is possible, but I suggest to look at the HTTP headers to be sure. First check whether the request headers actually have a Range or If-Range header; then check whether the response has status code 206 or 416 (or something else). For details refer to <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7233#section-3>. > This posting includes a php script that > references > $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE']. If the request contains a Range header, $_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE'] would be set; otherwise not. > Is there anything in the manual that might help me out with that, or other > info, suggestions? > > The posting is here: > > http://pervasivecode.blogspot.com/2012/09/currenttime-not-working-with-html5.html > > > I presume that the php script would need to respond to an async request. Probably yes, but I don't see how that would be relevant. > Thanks for time and attention > JK -- Christoph M. Becker
