OK, knowing that it works in some instances is good.  As I have been 
digging into the problem, it seems to be somewhere other than http. I 
would elaborate further, but I am still working through why the code is 
doing what I see on the network.

Another question about the http module.  http_establish() builds a GET 
request that may have a Content-Range header.  However, looking at the 
HTTP/1.1 RFCs, Content-Range is something that appears in a status 206 
response, not in a request.  The http module shouldn't insert this 
header, should it?
