Caching partial content

[jankapunkt]

Hey @jamauro this is discussion on potential future improvements.

I was wondering how a ServiceWorker could implement proper caching for partial (streamed) content (206 responses).

This is a potential for usecase of apps that stream audio/video in a recurring fashion (same content streamed repeatedly).

Would you consider this for the future? I would start to work in this in a few weeks if you are interested.

The most changes would be cache key management to include ranges when content is partial. However, there might be some ugly edge cases (at least I experienced them all the time when partial content is involved....)

Hey Jan, sounds really interesting. I haven't looked at what this might entail but certainly open to making improvements to this kit.
