Of course, I can't       judge if you consider my place a convenient place.              However, I see more than enough other problems. Two of them:              1.) A2Stream has no idea whatsoever, where in a stream it currently is.              2.) A2Stream does HTTP 1.0, but byte ranges are part of HTTP 1.1.              Anyhow, thanks for thinking about A2Stream,       Oliver              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
