Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2008-02-14 18:45:58 UTC 
Hi,
currently gnomevfssrc doesn't support seeking at all for non local URIs. We have to open with GNOME_VFS_OPEN_RANDOM to get seeking support at all.

Attached patch fixes this, please test very hard and report any issues :)

Ok, so this is fixed now in gnome-vfs as it actually is a gnome-vfs bug :)

While the docs say that one doesn't get seeking when GNOME_VFS_OPEN_RANDOM is not given no module other than http did this in the past but instead allowed seeking always. And then the http module failed to open an URI with _OPEN_RANDOM if the server does not support seeking while instead it should just fail on seeks then.

This revision fixes it:

No changes to gnomevfssrc are necessary at all :)
