Symptoms:

In addition to PR #44:

Header unset does not seem to work at all.

I tried to unset Connection, Accept-Ranges, ETag, Last-Modified and Content-Length
without any effect.

This is a pity, as Accept-Ranges causes a problem with Acrobat Reader plugin and Netscape Navigator.

It works fine:

Ah... there's your problem. All these headers are set internally by
the server, and no module (e.g. mod_headers) can affect them.

I'm confused as to why this would be. Apache implements byteranges
exactly to the HTTP/1.1 specification - which Netscape helped write.

It would be helpful if you could provide more information.
