Comment (by warner):

 I figured out the first one: it turns out that webapi GETs that use a
 Range header were completely broken: the root cause was that python's
 {{{__len__}}} method is, apparently, not allowed to return a {{{long}}}
 (who knew?). I just pushed the patch ([4664]).

 I'm still trying to figure out the {{{stopProducing}}} exception: it feels
 like the HTTP client dropped the connection at an unexpected time (when no
 actual segments were being fetched). There's a simple fix, but I want to
 build a reproducible test case first.
