The Range header is sent by the client, so it will be in headers_in (not 
in headers-out, which is what the client will receive from you).

You must read the RFC2616 documentation and implement what is described 
there. I'm sorry, there's no free lunch.

But before doing so, verify that your "download manager" is actually 
using that header. One way to do so is to abort a download, attempt a 
resume and see what gets sent to the server (have your python script 
dump the headers_in to a text file or so). If there's no "Range" in the 
headers, implementing it will not help you solve your problem.

The range header normally specifies what the client wants, so you can 
set up a correct response (read the RFC!) open the file, seek to the 
requested position (using file.seek(..)) and start sending from there.
