1193	adding support for http byte range in http_common.do_http	guyzmo	guyzmo	"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]
}}}"	enhancement	new	major	undecided	code-frontend-cli	1.8β		test http range do_http partial content
