[core] feature flag to allow Range w/ HTTP/1.0
server.feature-flags += ( "http10.range" => "enable" )
The Range request header is HTTP/1.1, not HTTP/1.0.
Intermediate HTTP/1.0 proxies might mishandle or incorrectly cache
responses to HTTP/1.1 Range requests, so the default in lighttpd is
to ignore Range requests sent with HTTP/1.0.
This feature flag changes the default if an admin desires to support
dumb HTTP/1.0 clients that might (incorrectly) send Range requests
with HTTP/1.0. Those client really ought to grow HTTP/1.1 support:
add support to receive HTTP/1.1 Transfer-Encoding: chunked responses,
and then those client may safely send HTTP/1.1 Range requests
(and in many cases, also Connection: close).
