How to set "Accept Ranges: byte" in Apache Coyote 1.1 tomcat server?

  • 772

I'm having a little issue with video files. Apparently, for mobile videos, server should support byte range. The following is response headers from my video request.

Server  Apache-Coyote/1.1
Content-Disposition filename=test.mp4
Expires Sat, 10 Sep 2011 21:02:51 +0000
Cache-Control   public, max-age=2592000

How do I add "Accept Ranges: byte" to my server configuration?

Thanks

    Is the default servlet pushing out these files, or a custom one? And what version of Tomcat are you on?

    If it's default, this should be working as of Tomcat 6.0.19 (reference).

    If not, you're looking at setting up an output filter to buffer the whole output and select the ranges for return to the client - if you're needing to go this route, I'd recommend setting up a different web service for handling the range-enabled video files.
