fwiw, I just pushed a commit that fixed a regression introduced by this commit

    souphttpsrc: Fix seeking back to 0

    This is a regression introduced by "03db374 - souphttpsrc: retry
    request on early termination from the server"

    The problem was that when seeking back to 0, we would not end up calling
    add_range_header() which in addition to adding range headers *ALSO* sets
    the read_position to the requested one.

    This would result in a wide variety of later failures, like reading
    again and again instead of stopping properly.
