broken sentence in description of 206 #508

Closed mnot closed 3 years ago

http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-httpbis-p5-range-24.html#rfc.section.4.1:

"When multiple ranges are requested, a server MAY coalesce any of the ranges that overlap or that are separated by a gap that is smaller than the overhead of sending multiple parts, regardless of the order in which the corresponding byte-range-spec appeared in the received Range header field."

Actually, it's not broken but somehow complicated due to the long qualification of what ranges this applies to ("that overlap or that are separated by a gap that is smaller than the overhead of sending multiple parts").

Maybe we should rephrase this.
