Sorry, chunk_size does not matter in this case. What I mean is, using a file object as the first parameter of response.stream(...) does NOT support "HTTP/1.1 206 PARTIAL CONTENT". Instead, we should use a file name string. Therefore I suggest to adjust the example document to explicitly compare the two approaches. I refine the doc, please refer to the end of this mail.
