New issue 62017 by rofish: No Etag and Last-Modified value on MP3 causes
Chrome to hang and then crash.
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=62017
Chrome Version : 8.0.552.28 (Official Build 64647) beta (Also does it
in latest Chrome 7)
URLs (if applicable) :
http://local-static4.forum-files.fobby.net/submissions/0000/2509/k.mp3
Other browsers tested:
Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
Safari 5: OK
Firefox 3.x: OK
IE 7/8: OK
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go directly to URL.
2. MP3 does not play.
3. Include URL as an <audio>'s <source>.
4. Chrome will become unresponsive until the "fix tab" "Aw Snap" error
appears.
What is the expected result?
MP3 plays directly in browser. <audio> tag plays the audio.
What happens instead?
MP3 fails to load. When included as part of the <audio> tag, it hangs the
tab.
Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
NOTE: This only works if you unset both the ETag and Last-Modified Values.
The same file is available at:
http://rofish.net/Aquas_-_Bubble_Gum_Girl_Likes_Ness_With_All_Her_Honesty_streaming.mp3
and it does play. The difference is that when both values are removed, the
MP3 does not play and causes a hang if used as a source for an <audio> tag.

I tested this issue with Chrome 7/8 on Mac, although I have heard that the
same error occurs on Windows as well.

Is this still a problem with Google Chrome 11 or newer? Can you try to get
