Bug #88205
openMissing FAL support for byte-range requests
0%
Description
This issue occurs when serving video files from a non publicly accessible FileStorage.\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\ResourceStorage::getPublicUrl()
will generate an URL like this:
/index.php?eID=dumpFile&t=f&f=11623&token=047550942c914f1c4e4ae8d22a0bc2102661019b
When serving video files via a publicly accessible FileStorage the FAL can use "normal" URL, e.g.:
/fileadmin/user_upload/videos/awesome.mp4
iOS devices will check if the server supports byte-range requests when downloading/streaming video files, please have look into the documentation:

Normal Web-Servers (like Apache and nginx) usually don't have any issues with byte-range requests.
Unfortunately the FAL can't handle byte-range requests.
I'll suggest that this feature/bug will be handled in \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\ResourceStorage::dumpFileContents()
.
I'm not sure if this is the proper place for that.
I could reconstruct this issue in TYPO3 CMS 8 and 9 (other versions haven't been tested yet).
