Comment:

 We revisted the oldest tickets on the bug-wash today, and finally(!)
 made our mind up about this one:

 The present single-range support was based on a survey of range requests I
 collected from various sites.   The survey found only very few instances
 of multi-range requests on varnish servers and thus the added complexity
 was not implemented.

 Circumstances may have changed, and I welcome data showing that, but this
 ticket really is a feature-request, and I have moved it to
 wiki:Future_Feature as such.

 I do notice that the multi-range requests above ask for overlapping areas:
 {{{
 Range: bytes=8380-32397,8380-8381
 }}}

 I wonder if that is bug in acrobat ?

 I'm closing this ticket as "invalid" according to our policy, because it
 is a feature-request, we only use tickets for "real bugs", in order to not
 have tickets that cannot be resolved in finite time.

 Sorry for the delay in dealing with this ticket.
