How do you intend to deal with pdf files from servers which do not know/
advertise the pdf's size even if they advertize byte-range support?
A number of bug sites and other cms frameworks fail to send a Content-
Lenght header when, eg, grabbing attached files. I do not know how
often Accept-Ranges is there, but Content-Lenght is not, so it might
not matter. But just in case.....
