Feature request: Support HTTP range requests

[purkylin]

I think this feature is very important, especially for playing video files over a local network. Are there any plans to support this feature?

Thank you for the reminder, I've added this in PR #157.
Please try it out on the main branch and let me know how it works

Ranged Requests

Routes for both GET and HEAD must be created to a file:

await server.appendRoute("GET,HEAD /jaws", to: .file(named: "jaws.m4v"))

When clients request the route and provide a range header

GET /jaws HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Range: bytes=41000-49999

The response return just the requests bytes;

HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content
Content-Type: video/mp4
Content-Range: bytes 41000-49999/60000
Content-Length: 9000
Accept-Ranges: bytes
