Support for 206 Partial Content Responses when responding to Requests with Request Header "Range"

[ctkdev]

This is more of a question about how to architect a solution when it appears that there is no direct way to expose the request headers to the configured serviceName on a resource in the DSL.

For example, if a GET request on /api/audio-streams/1 is sent to the restful api with the following format:

Accept:audio/*
Cache-Control:no-cache
Connection:keep-alive
Pragma:no-cache
Range:bytes=10626313-

And the expectation for a response to the client for the purposes of streaming the requested partial content is:

Accept-Ranges:bytes
Connection:Keep-Alive
Content-Length:13780501
Content-Range:bytes 10626313-24406813/24406814
Content-Type:audio/mp4

ETag:"1746b1e-52249b809ab9a"
Keep-Alive:timeout=5, max=100

What is the recommended manner in which to support partial content responses via the restful-api?

I will be working on adding this functionality, but wanted to see if the authors of the plugin or anyone else in the community has already tackled this issue.

Thanks!
