You can use HttpRequest::range() for range.
I am not sure what else framework can provide regarding ranges. Do you have any suggestions?

Regarding HEAD, I'll review head support later today.

HEAD support is fixed in master. I will make new release later today or tomorrow

HttpRequest::range() is a lot closer to what I'd like to see. Peak of convenience would be when I can pass this information to the fs::NamedFile Responder, so it will only return the requested range of bytes. But I can implement this for myself, so it's not really an issue.

Thank you for the quick reply and fix!

I just don’t have enough time, but I am planing to add range support to named file

No problem. If it's on your roadmap maybe I can help you out with this. When I'll be satisfied with my solution I'll open a PR for this feature.

PR would be great!

I made new release with head requests fix

Thanks for the HEADs up! :) I'm switching back to stable.

Meanwhile I took a dive in the RFC, and looks like it's not an easy task. Now I have a working solution, but it's ugly and violates the rfc, so it needs some more work. If I'm progressing well with it, I'll open a ticket during the week and I'll keep you posted.
