fix: improve parsing content-range header

[Uzlopak]

• range header parser was not handling the size * variant.
• maybe improved slightly performance
• removed unnecessary assertions, like start is always a finite number
• renamed parseRangeHeader to parseContentRangeHeader

Regarding unsatisfied ranges:
The line const { start, size, end = size } = contentRange was only making sense, when the size was set but end was not set. This was not possible in the previous implementation. So I guess, that line was expected to handle unsatisfied ranges. So for cases like "bytes */1000". But I am unsure as there is no test regarding this case. Also we check if the statusCode is 206, while unsatisfied ranges are sent with status code 416.

So i think we have to discuss about what we have to do with unsatisfied ranges.

I don't think the retry handler changes are an improvement.

[ronag]

Can you make this less compact and more readable? When how does this return null?

[Uzlopak]

I will first implement some unit tests, as some of the expectations to the code seem to be wrong.

[KhafraDev]

what about using the range header parsing from fetch?

[KhafraDev]

sorry, didn't get a notification for your comment in the issue?

[Uzlopak]

@KhafraDev

Hmm, yeah looks right. Probably a magnitude slower. But I have stomacheache about the unsatisfied range case.

[KhafraDev]

a header value can't be empty and I don't think range can be null here, only undefined

[Uzlopak]

@KhafraDev
Here you see start, size and then end = size, which makes only sense in the unsatisfied case. But original parseRangeHeader can NOT return unsatisfied cases (e.g. bytes */2222). So this makes no sense.

originally we only have start and end.

[metcoder95]

Sadly I don't see much room for improving the current range parsing implementation. The only improvement is to replace it with the fetch one and adjust accordingly, so we have a single implementation shared across and we can optimize that single implementation and have benefits at different ends.

Regarding unsatisfied ranges, I believe that 416 status code should result in an Aborted request and give back control to the implementation; I am not so sure what else we can do in those scenarios beyond stopping the request and not retrying more.

[Uzlopak]

If we abort on 416 i can implement it properly. Also it results in a faster parsing.

[metcoder95]

Sure, that SGTM 👍

LOL, I dont want that this gets merged accidently.
