Send custom HTTP request header with HTML5 audio tag

Question

Is it possible to send custom HTTP request headers using the HTML5 audio tag? I\'m especially interested in sending a HTTP Range header, so the webserver will only stream pa

Answer 1

To answer the broad question... that will depend on what kind of request exactly.

What you want[ed] to do is actually very possible. You can simply add a #t=start[,end] Media Fragment to any media url, and the browser will know it will have to only play from these timestamps:

And since I came from the future a question that did ask about sending authorization along with the media request, here is a link to some docs about the crossOrigin attribute, which will also make your HTTP request with "custom headers".
