Laravel response macro for streamed responses with seeking support

When implemented this i got a lot of ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH errors in Chrome.

This was because:

  • When content is partially served the Content-Length header should update accordingly (it should be same as the range being served).
  • Also when a range is requested which overlaps the original Content-Length it should update accordingly (it must be the maximum length available).

I fixed these bugs here: https://gist.github.com/langemike/d196fe2d201c1e574205
Also it contains a usage example.
