What problem did you experience? At first glance, the range header
appears to work for me. (Although whether varnish actually caches
ranged responses is unclear)
From the Flash level we can't actually send the
Range header as it's
blacklisted; the theory was to send a secondary header
which we could
translate in Varnish; I don't recall the details now of whether that
translation was flaky or whether Flash still wouldn't even send that header.
