Opera NPP_NewStream seekable?

Hello,

I am developing an NPAPI plugin which seems to work fine in Firefox
3.6. It works also fine in IE with custom code to send HTTP requests.

My plugin relies on the NPN_RequestRead function to download only
parts of the data. For this to work, Opera needs to call my plugin's
NPP_NewStream method with the seekable parameter set to true. However,
this never happens. Even if the file is already in the local cache or
if the server supports Request-Range HTTP headers.

Is this a limitation in Opera's implementation of the NPAPI or do I
have to do something special to get a seekable NPAPI stream?

Thanks,
-Matthias

That's probably because of limited support for NPN_RequestRead in
Opera. I don't know exact details. Could you file a bug https://bugs.opera.com/wizard/
and maybe send your plugin (or just minimized version with enough
functionality to reproduce) to the bug report mail address?
