Description youenn fablet 2014-04-10 01:22:10 PDT
When retrieving a video resource, WebKit GStreamer layer is adding some headers (Range, icy-metadata, transferMode.dlna).
It should be decided whether preflight mode should be used or not in that case.

Blink had some discussions on that: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=173727
They decided to not use preflight.
