Comment(by Tom Dexter <digitalaudiorock at hotmail.com>):

 I'm attaching a modified diff for trunk that contains these changes for
 both stream_mp4.pl and stream_raw.pl, as they both use content range.
 Again note that I've only been able to test the 0.21-fixes version of the
 change.

 On a somewhat related note, I was also wondering what your thought might
 be on this suggestion: In the 0.21-fixes version that I'm running, in
 handler.pl, I've added the following condition around the loop that prints
 the raw content:

 if ($ENV{'REQUEST_METHOD'} ne 'HEAD') {
 }

 This allows for programs like wget that can use a separate head request to
 get the "pretty" file name from the content disposition header, for
 example:

 wget --content-disposition
 http://mythback/mythweb/pl/stream/1131/1235181600

 ...which will save using the program title.  Perhaps wget is the only
 program that uses this extra round trip head approach to doing that, but I
 find it to be a really nice feature.  I like to use wget for grabbing
 files off of mythweb because I can limit the download speed, thus
 preventing the download from saturating the backend network connection.
