[mod_python] Can't get a 206 (partial content) response

For most streaming clients, a simple workaround to disable chunking is to set a Content-Length of 
some arbitrary large number (2GB or so), and add the "Connection: Close" header to the output. Most 
streaming players will accept this. The length will be ignored by the media player anyway.

If the device really wants the HTTP/1.0 in the header, you can change the httpd.conf file of Apache 
to force output to 1.0 for certain client strings. I don't recall the particulars, but there was 
example code in the default config file in apache 2.
