iOS: add range header requests so videos hosted on Blossom play on iOS media player

[alltheseas]

what happens

video files (e.g. mp4) stored on blossom cannot be played by iOS media player in an iOS app (e.g. Damus)

suggestion

devs suggest investigating lack of/iOS media player need for headers

haven [response] is missing:

content-length accept-ranges: bytes

it's possible ios video player requires one of these

haven request is missing:

probably uses ranges for incremental downloading if the connection drops

fwiw im not sure if it is the issue, its just the biggest thing i saw that was different between the headers of the server responses. Would be good to know which header specifically is the issue, assuming both servers are returning the same data and there isn’t some other subtle issue.
