Watson.Lite : Partial Range Requests status labeled as Internal Server Error 500 despite being handled fine.

[GitHubProUser67]

In Watson.Lite, due to it's reliance on an external TCP service, allows for partial range request handling via some customised code.

However, said code, despite working fine, for some reasons print error 500 in the console logs:

Here is the demonstration of a movie streaming system in https using Watson.Lite, as you can see, works perfect, despite status 500 in the console.

Note, due to the non-lite version relying on httpListener, it is impossible to handle range request on this backend, it could be neat to indicate this in the documentation if someone wanna use it is a backend project.

After more testing, it can happen sometimes that it does print 206:

My theory is that this logger only keep tracks of finished requests, effectively sending an internal server error on a dead connection, but a range request can massively bound the interface and actually uses the same wire for multiples chunck of data, which it seems Watson.Lite is not having any issue with.

Please share the code you have for your default request handler - seems that is where this content is being served from, correct?

Also - range requests should 100% be supported. You would have to parse the header NameValueCollection to get access to the Range header and handle it manually. Content routes do not support it today, though.

Here is the code : https://github.com/GitHubProUser67/MultiServer2/blob/main/HTTPSecureServerLite/LocalFileStreamHelper.cs

So what happens is that, the handling of the range is done outside of the API itself, rather I use the API as a transmiter.
