------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 I'm using the same API as tahoe-get.py and I needed to have 'very big
 files' supported through that API. So I patched do_http() so it has a
 headers dictionary as parameter in which one can add different options.

 I patched also tahoe_get.get() so it supports Partial Content answers
 (206), and added a 'frange' variable set to None, because I didn't know
 what CLI option to choose for content retrieval, and did not want to
 change cli.py. frange shall be a list (or tuple) of two elements :

 {{{
 start = 12
 end = 42
 frange=[start, end]
 }}}
