New test request: browser uses byte ranges to download audio at current time rather than downloading whole file

[pusateri]

If I set the currentTime in an mp3 source to the middle of the audio sample, some browsers (Safari) will use byte range requests to only start reading the file at the correct time while others (Chrome) will download the entire file.

In one example, Safari sends 3 different GET requests with the following ranges:
Range: bytes=0-1
Range: bytes=0-163191578
Range: bytes=38338560-163191578

Chrome only sends one GET request with:
Range: bytes=0-
