Description
According to docs about Chrome HTTP caching behavior: https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-stack/http-cache/
> The cache implements a single writer - multiple reader lock so that only one network request for the same resource is in flight at any given time.
So it seems that other requests for the same file will be handled **serially** by Chrome, which is very bad.
I think ideally we want
```
fetch(url, {
headers: { Range: "bytes=..." },
cache: "no-store",
});
```
which chatgpt says
- Bypasses browser cache
- Avoids lock
- Keeps server/CDN caching intact
But to do that we need access to more `fetch` properties than just `headers`, which is what https://github.com/blacha/chunkd/blob/9b7e1480d2435d06b87a0f716e3d35ab94111f80/packages/source-http/src/index.ts#L35-L38 currently exposes.
https://github.com/blacha/cogeotiff/issues/1446 should hopefully make it easier to build source interfaces
