Accept-Ranges
The Accept-Ranges header indicates that the resource supports Range requests; the values specify which range units are supported when making a Range request.
The special value none indicates the resource does not support Range requests.
Writing requests (clients)
Clients use the Accept-Ranges header to indicate the media type responses the user is capable of reading, and order of preference. This should be configurable by the user, either directly, or read from a system setting; if no preference is known, it is better to omit this header.
