Summary
Exact prompt
# Task: add byte-range support to the file server `server.py` serves the files under `public/` but ignores the `Range` and `If-Range` request headers, so downloads cannot resume and media players cannot seek. Change `server.py` so it implements `RANGES.md` exactly. Everything it already does correctly (paths, 404s, content types) must keep working. Do not change anything under `public/` (the grader checks those files are byte-identical to the originals). Python standard library only. Keep the command line: `python3 server.py [port]`, port also from env `G02_PORT`, default 18702, bind 127.0.0.1. No network beyond localhost. The grader starts your server, sends requests with `http.client`, compares status codes, the headers named in RANGES.md and the exact body bytes, then stops the server.
Exact status/header/body checks for clamping, suffix ranges, unsatisfiable vs malformed headers (416 vs ignore), un-merged multipart bodies with a fixed boundary, ETag-gated If-Range and HEAD parity. Original benchmark task written for usecaserank.com (not based on a specific public post). Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Each run's notes say how its cost was measured (estimates are marked).
Success criteria: 1. public_files_unchanged: files under public/ are byte-identical. 2. full_response_headers: 200 carries Accept-Ranges and the SHA-256-prefix ETag. 3. single_ranges: first-last, first-, -suffix, clamped last, oversize suffix, spaces, correct Content-Type. 4. unsatisfiable_416: 416 with bytes */size for 5 unsatisfiable headers incl. empty file. 5. malformed_range_ignored: 8 malformed headers give a plain 200. 6. multipart_byteranges: exact multipart body, order kept, overlaps not merged, unsatisfiable parts dropped, single survivor gives a single-part 206. 7. if_range: matching ETag honours Range, mismatching/unquoted gives 200, If-Range alone changes nothing. 8. head_requests: HEAD mirrors GET status/headers without body. 9. errors_unaffected: missing files still 404.
Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 7 case g02-http-range-requests (offline fixture). Prepared with batch7/prepare.sh; hidden key/tests kept outside the agent's work dir. Prompt = TASK.md verbatim. Scored with the scout's scorer: `python score.py WORKDIR KEYDIR`. Tools: Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep/Bash, web disabled. Single run, no retries. 1-min load average at scoring: 1.19. Claude Code's own reported cost for claude-haiku-5.5: $0.009595. Score: 9/9 checks. Cost is an ESTIMATE: measured tokens x pricing.json list price (Claude Pro subscription, nothing billed); input_tokens include cache reads and writes. Single run.
Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

- Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
- Same setup: Claude Haiku 5.5 (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5, effort default (no --effort flag) · thinking on) via
Claude Code 2.1.299 (headless -p), cloud. - It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: 1. public_files_unchanged: files under public/ are byte-identical. 2. full_response_headers: 200 carries Accept-Ranges and the SHA-256-prefix ETag. 3. single_ranges: first-last, first-, -suffix, clamped last, oversize suffix, spaces, correct Content-Type. 4. unsatisfiable_416: 416 with bytes */size for 5 unsatisfiable headers incl. empty file. 5. malformed_range_ignored: 8 malformed headers give a plain 200. 6. multipart_byteranges: exact multipart body, order kept, overlaps not merged, unsatisfiable parts dropped, single survivor gives a single-part 206. 7. if_range: matching ETag honours Range, mismatching/unquoted gives 200, If-Range alone changes nothing. 8. head_requests: HEAD mirrors GET status/headers without body. 9. errors_unaffected: missing files still 404.

"result": "`server.py` now implements `RANGES.md`. I tested it against each rule with `http.client`, and `public/` is byte-identical to the original.\n\nThe only failing check was a mistake in my test, not the server. I sent `bytes= 2-3 , 5-6 `, which has two satisfiable specs, so the correct response is the multipart 206. The server returned that, and I had expected a single-range 206.\n\n**What changed**\n- Every file response (200, 206, 416) carries `Accept-Ranges: bytes` and a quoted ETag: the first 16 hex characters of the file's SHA-256.\n- `Range` parsing follows rule 3 strictly: the `bytes=` prefix is exact, specs are digits only, spaces and tabs are allowed around each spec, and an empty spec, `first > last`, or `-` alone causes the header to be ignored (200).\n- Unsatisfiable specs are dropped and the rest are clamped. No satisfiable spec gives 416 with `Content-Range: bytes */size` and an empty body.\n- One satisfiable spec gives a 206 with the file's content type. Two or more give the `G02BOUNDARY` multipart body, with parts in request order and no merging.\n- `If-Range` is honoured only when it exactly matches the ETag. Otherwise the response is a full 200. It has no effect without a `Range` header.\n- `HEAD` gets the same status and headers as `GET` with no body. 404s are unchanged.\n\n**Choices I made where the spec was silent**\n- A 416 has no `Content-Type`, since the spec does not name one.\n- If a request has more than one `Range` header, the server uses the first one.\n- The `bytes=` unit is matched case-sensitively, following \"values exactly\".\n\nTests were run from a scratch script in `/tmp`, not in the work directory. The original `server.py` is backed up at `/tmp/server.orig.py`.",
