Proxy Cache and Range Requests

[Resicow]

Hi Igor,

Currently I am using proxy_cache, but have a question on how nginx 
handles range requests for a file that is not currently in cache. Will 
nginx simply proxy the file and not cache it, or download the entire 
file into cache, but just serve the range request to the client.

Congrats on 0.7.59, and keep up the great work!

Thanks,

John
