            Bug ID: 266691
           Summary: [GStreamer] Get length from conten-length header when
                    available in chunked content encoding
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Media
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: eocanha at igalia.com

Currently, chunked content-encoding media content transfers are considered not to have a defined length and are treated as live videos (no seek available, the whole content is downloaded in a monolithic way). However, sometimes the web server specifies a content-length that, even if not mandatory, gives a hint about the total length. If that info was used, we could treat the download in a much more flexible way, downloading only the required pieces on demand, as the player needs them, and also enabling seek.
