            Bug ID: 232426
           Summary: [Meta] Improve handling of media playback where server
                    doesn't support range-request.
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: jean-yves.avenard at apple.com
        Depends on: 232422, 232425

Currently, when playing a video hosted on a server with no-range request support, we end up having to download the entire file into memory.

This could be improved in multiple-ways:
- Disable seeking or only allow seeking in buffered area and drop content as playback progress.
- Cache content to disk
- Reduce memory usage

This is a meta bug to track those incremental improvements
