How to handle Range header in Http Core

[LongkerDandy <lo...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I'm developing a UPnP/DLNA media server, and using Http Core for file
transfer.
Client may ask for part of the file, using IF Range and Range Http headers.
Is there a easy way to deal with that?
Or I have to write my own FileEntity?

Thanks

HttpCore does not support byte ranges / partial entities out of the box.

Most likely you will need to write a custom protocol interceptor in
order to add range headers and a custom FileEntity capable of writing
out it content partially given a particular byte range.

Hope this helps
