I hope here is the right place to ask such question.
Is there any ongoing work to add the full support for HTTP range header including multi-range requests in SWIFT? If not, is there any project assumption to reject this full support?
I'm currently developing a service for validation of a file upon its partial content. So it is required to be able to request: GET /<api version="">/<account>/<container>/
Guys, I am currently working on the implementation. This is based on the implementation of replacing webob in swift. You can find the implementation here, https://review.openstack.org/#/c/14180/ . Hopefully, the changes will get emerged into swift soon.
what's the status of this? that issue is closed with a reference to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/paste-users/FOsN7y3xt6M (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!top...) but it's not clear what the current situation is.
I've opened an issue for full http range support in webob framework: https://github.com/Pylons/webob/issues/23 (https://github.com/Pylons/webob/issue...)
Honestly, that would be up to the webob project owners to decide.
I've always found them receptive to code patches. They have accepted several patches from the core swift devs as we found issues that affected us while writing swift. I'm sure they would be happy to have multi-range request support in their framework.

kstyrc is still having a problem: I'm rather not familiar with python world.
Is multiple ranges support likely to be accepted and implemented in the webob framework?
You received this question notification because you are a member of Swift Core, which is an answer contact for OpenStack Object Storage (swift).

You are correct in that swift does not support multiple ranges.
This is a limitation of webob (the underlying wsgi request/response handler) that swift uses. If swift were to support multi-range requests, it would need to be implemented in the webob framework ( http://www.webob.org/ )
