If you're in the situation that you have an authenticated Django view that returns
files for download, you may have noticed that Safari 9.x doesn't play audio files
properly when returning audio-files. The reason is that Safari sends a HTTP_RANGE request header and expects a proper Content-Range
response header in return.
There is a Django ticket
for this, however no indication that this feature will be implemented soon.
The original suggested fix applies the code to Django's static view. This is a packaged version of that fix, but uses a modified FileResponse, instead of applying it to Django's static view.

filename = 'myfile.wav'
response = RangedFileResponse(request, open(filename, 'r'), content_type='audio/wav')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename="%s"' % filename
return response
