'get_headers' computes the "Range:" header as '_bytes_written' - '_bytes_written + CHUNK_SIZE':

and the '_bytes_written' gets updated to bump by the size of the chunk the server returns. Consider the initial read, assuming a CHUNK_SIZE of 100:

Range: bytes=0-100

Note that, per RFC2616. this will return up to 101 bytes (both bytes-position values are inclusive):
