I try to achieve pseudo streaming, I have html like so:
<video src="GetVideo.ashx?id=mp4" controls></video>
after loading page Chrome 28.0.1500.72 m sends request (even before clicking play):
GET /GetVideo.ashx?id=mp4 HTTP/1.1

File starts to play after clicking play, but the problem is if i try to seek to yet not downloaded part, it does not send additional request for that part, it simply waits until file is downloaded upon specified position.
When I do the same in Firefox 22.0:
first request (after page loading):

IE 10 is working in the same way as Firefox.
What response header Chrome expects to be able to behave in the same way - to make addtional requests after seeking to not-downloaded part?
It turned out response header was correct.
The problem was I was using video file with small length and chrome appears to have some kind of optimization not sending additional request if difference in time is too small (less then 30 seconds or so).

I'm implementing a REST API that should support cross domain requests. Using CORS I want to achieve this. Almost all of my requests are 'not-simple', meaning for all non-GET requests a preflight request must be send by the browser.
To limit the amount of preflight/OPTIONS requests I try to let the browser cache the OPTIONS requests. This seems to work in Firefox and Safari, but not in Chrome. I know Chrome will only cache the preflight requests for only 10 minutes, but in my case it seems no caching takes place at all.
These are the HTTP requests and responses sent/received by Chrome:

You have Pragma: no-cache & Cache-Control: no-cache headers set in the request.
Try removing them.
Api requests by default do not set these headers, and I doubt chrome does
either.
You should check your code and find out where they are
set from.
Now, given that its working fine on other browsers, you'd better check if you have set no-cache option on Dev Tools.
Preflight caching is a known bug in 98 version.

I have a compressed resource that when viewed in IE, loads from the cache as expected. However when my application loads the same URL, Wininet ignores the cache and always downloads the content from the server. With dynamic content compression disabled on IIS, my application behaves the same as IE (the HTTP GET includes an If-None-Match header.)
What can I do to get my app behave the same as IE?
_httpClient = new HttpClient(new WebRequestHandler
{
CachePolicy = new HttpRequestCachePolicy(HttpRequestCacheLevel.Default),
AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.Deflate | DecompressionMethods.GZip
});
using (Task<HttpResponseMessage> tget = _httpClient.GetAsync(uri, HttpCompletionOption.ResponseHeadersRead, _cancel))
{
tget.Wait();
response = tget.Result;
}
The HTTP headers for my application's GET:

I ended up filing a ticket with Microsoft to resolve this and found out that there is a bug in .NET 4 which causes this. The problem is that a cache entry populated from a response with a Vary header doesn't get matched properly on the next GET because even though the AutomaticDecompression property is set, .NET hasn't added the Accept-Encoding header into the request before doing a WinINET cache test.
The workaround/fix is to add an "Accept-Encoding" default header to the HttpClient instance before using it.
_httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate");
So I have this web-page in my local:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample "Hello, World" Application</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor=white>
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<img src="images/tomcat.gif">
</td>
<td>
<h1>Sample "Hello, World" Application</h1>
<p>This is the home page for a sample application used to illustrate the
source directory organization of a web application utilizing the principles
outlined in the Application Developer's Guide.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>To prove that they work, you can execute either of the following links:
<ul>
<li>To a JSP page.
<li>To a servlet.
</ul>
</body>
</html>
And when I trace my HTTP Requests and Responses I will see:

Why is the browser sending a Accept: image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
When I click on the image itself and open it in new tab the request will be sent as:
GET /sample/images/tomcat.gif HTTP/1.1

Why is the second request has many more values in Accept header but in the first case it is different?
It's essentially a historical record of formats that browser manufacturers wanted to make it easy to identify support for.
As Grice points out, these all include */* and so accept anything; the specified formats are just preferences.
In at least one case:
Accept: image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
is simply a special case to promote the uptake of WebP. Modify Accept header to explicitly denote the image formats Chrome supports:
As part of promoting the adoption of WebP, it would be useful if Chrome more explicitly indicated the image formats it supports in the Accept header. Currently it just returns */*, but this makes it difficult for servers to know whether it's safe to return WebP images in lieu of JPEG or not
As Chrome clearly accepts PNG, JPEG and GIF as well, making WebP a special case is simply an attempt to encourage specific support for a preferred format. Likewise, the special case for application/xhtml+xml made a lot of sense when trying to encourage wider use of XHTML.
I've been trying to get background music working for my browser-based game. It's working great, but in Chrome I frequently have the music cut short and this error appears:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONTENT_LENGTH_MISMATCH
I watched the Network tab and saw the audio file being loaded as it should be, with the 206 Partial Content status, until it hit that error and just stopped.
Reloading the page will usually yield the same result, but at a different point in the track. I have yet to encounter this problem in IE, it seems to only be Chrome that's affected.
Any suggestions as to what may be happening?

Increasing Apache's timeout setting fixed it.
Basically Chrome was being "too clever" by only downloading fast enough to keep just ahead of the buffer, and Apache was getting bored.
I'm trying to follow Google's caching recommendation, but neither IE nor Chrome are caching my images when HTTPS is used. The second request is not even a conditional GET. If I simply switch to HTTP, it works fine.

i think this is happening because of the url format, you can use apache's mod_rewrite to make a url format for images given by this script to look like localhost/image/123.png
EDIT
after reading your comment, i can say that it's not about your server's config, you can't do anything about it according to this and this because of HTTPS implementations since you have Cache-control: public set already.
