            Bug ID: 186335
           Summary: Add Accept-Encoding: identity to Range requests
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Safari Technology Preview
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Service Workers
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: jaffathecake at gmail.com

Spec change: https://github.com/whatwg/fetch/pull/751
Tests: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/11291

Turns out a significant number of servers ignore Range headers unless "Accept-Encoding: identity" is set. This spec change applies that header to all requests with a Range header.

Safari already does this for media requests, although the header is applied before the service worker, when it should be afterwards.
