Resume downloads

• Server @nextcloud/server-triage

Clients should try to restart their download in case of network interruptions, so that a big file does not need to get re-downloaded all over again.
As far as I understand this, clients can allready ask server via http range request for specific parts of the file.

What else is needed here? We already have the Range HTTP headers that should be all that is needed here, right?

I was more thinking about Web-UI.
There is at least on Firefox sometimes the option to resume a download.
Is this already working? If so, you can check server :)

AFAICT the desktop client already knows how to resume downloads (code is clearly there and does the range request).
