Hi Douglas,
I'd put optional spaces (\s*) between bytes= and the ranges and between ranges.

The following

> bytes=    0-1,  5-69,-69

is a valid Range header value (I mean that is accepted by apache).

I agree with you about not to check the http method (GET/HEAD/POST seem to be all vulnerable) and about the use of the [N]o[S]ub and the [L]ast flag.

To sum up I'd rather use something like the following:

> RewriteEngine On
> RewriteCond %{HTTP:Range} ([0-9]*-[0-9]*)(\s*,\s*[0-9]*-[0-9]*)+
> RewriteRule .* - [NS,L,F]

I can say nothing about the efficiency of the Cond.

If you remove any check that matches a single range webdav should work. It seems really unusual for a service to use multiple ranges to me...

Davide.
