This is followup from #2 where you can find all the details. Below quote is short summary:
Request Headers - Things seems here sadly far more complicated, but it is also clear that this is really important for proper support of Video / Audio tags that just assume HTTP backend. It was suggested to me to that we could do following:
Plain data from request so that protocol handler can parse HTTP headers or alternative encoding of metadata.
- Expose existing HTTP parser so it could be used. There was quite a reluctance on this though for reasons I did not understand (Part of it was that it's written in C++ and could not be easily extracted for just parsing use). It was highly recommended to instead just support more strictly encoded subset of the headers as anything send from video / audio tags would fit.
Unfortunately it seems that supporting request headers would require C++ work and landing corresponding changes into Firefox which is to say it's likely going to take a while and likely will come after we illustrated that people are actually building on this work.

Is analog to HTTP's Range requests tracked under this, or should I create a separate issue for it?
Let's track it here for now, depending how it will pan out I might need separate one, but for now it's good. One thing that could help is an example that produces Range requests that are disregarded.
