The new draft says:
If the last-byte-pos value is absent, it is assumed to be equal to the
current length of the entity-body in bytes.
If the last-byte-pos value is larger than the current length of the
entity-body, it is assumed to be equal to the current length of the
entity-body. This allows, for example, a client to attempt to limit the
number of bytes retrieved without knowing the size of the entity.
Actually, the correct value is length minus one. So this should read:
If the last-byte-pos value is absent, it is assumed to be equal to one
less than the current length of the entity-body in bytes.
If the last-byte-pos value is larger than the current length of the
entity-body, it is assumed to be equal to one less than the current
length of the entity-body. This allows, for example, a client to
attempt to limit the number of bytes retrieved without knowing the
size of the entity.
