You shouldn't need to use file.seek() or req.write() as req.sendfile() allows
an offset to be specified.

  sendfile(path[, offset, len])

    Sends len bytes of file path directly to the client, starting at offset
    offset using the server's internal API. offset defaults to 0, and len
    defaults to -1 (send the entire file).

    This function provides the most efficient way to send a file to the client.

Thus calculate from the headers where you need to start and tell
req.sendfile() to start there instead.
