From rfc2068:
A suffix-byte-range-spec is used to specify the suffix of the
entity-body, of a length given by the suffix-length value. (That is,
this form specifies the last N bytes of an entity-body.) If the
entity is shorter than the specified suffix-length, the entire
entity-body is used.
o The final 500 bytes (byte offsets 9500-9999, inclusive):
bytes=-500
So, you went to a lot of extra work. Could have done it in
one hit.
