Hi there,

I have some question of addWebSeed function. The problem is addWebSeed not work at jpg files.

sample:
mp4 is work: https://www.extratown.com/webtorrent/download/public/2016/08/13/sintel.mp4
jpg can not work: https://www.extratown.com/webtorrent/download/public/2016/08/13/IMG_20160229_164424-10.jpg

I checked the network mp4 is 206 HTTP_RANGE, but jpg is 200.

Thank you!

I just checked out the links you posted and did some investigation. It appears that your server is returning an invalid response for the jpg file.

WebTorrent makes a request with the following header, to indicate the range it wants:

range:bytes=4456448-4559885

But the server responds with this header, indicating it is returning the wrong bytes:

content-range:bytes 0-4559885/4559886

But for the .mp4 file, it's working fine:

range:bytes=0-262143
content-range:bytes 0-262143/129241752

I have no idea why your server (which looks like cloudflare's nginx) would be doing that. But I don't think this is a WebTorrent bug, so I'm going to close this issue. Feel free to continue discussion and do share what you find out if you solve this!
