2.2.6.7 Range

  • Article

The syntax of the Range header MUST follow the general rules as specified in [RFC2326] section 12.29. However, a Range header MUST NOT contain more than one ranges-specifier syntax element. Also, the time parameter and the utc-range ranges-specifier syntax element MUST NOT be used. RTSP Windows Media Extensions define two additional ranges-specifier tokens.<8>

The ABNF syntax for the Range header is as follows.

 ranges-specifier      = npt-range               ; [RFC2326] section 3.6 
                       | smpte-range             ; [RFC2326] section 3.5
                       | byte-range              ; section 2.2.6.7.1
                       | packet-range            ; section 2.2.6.7.2
 Range                 = "Range: " ranges-specifier
