• x and y are inclusive, matching the behavior from HTTP Range Requests
• * can be substituted for end-of-file
  • ?bytes=0:* is the entire file (i.e. to fulfill HTTP Range Request x- requests)
• Negative numbers can be used for referring to bytes from the end of a file
  • ?bytes=-1024:* is the last 1024 bytes of a file (i.e. to fulfill HTTP Range Request -y requests)
  • It is also permissible (unlike with HTTP Range Requests) to ask for the range of 500 bytes from the beginning of the file to 1000 bytes from the end by ?bytes=499:-1000
