Hi You can set the content range in a Get Method, code below works for me:
private void addByteRangeHeader(Enclosure encl, GetMethod gMethod) {
int fileLen = new Long(encl.getFile().length()).intValue();
String contentRange = "bytes=" + new
Integer((fileLen)).toString()
+ "-";
Header head = new Header();
head.setName("Range");
head.setValue(contentRange);
gMethod.addRequestHeader(head);
}
Check for a: HttpStatus.SC_PARTIAL_CONTENT
Cheers / Christophe
