HTTP HEAD request with Range Header

Question

I am working on a DLNA Server using IIS as Server for media. Some DLNA Client sends a http HEAD request with a range Header :

Command: HEAD

+

Answer 1

In ietf.org RFC7233 section 3.1 Range you can find the excerpt

A server must ignore a Range header field received with a request method other than GET

To me this means as much as : you can make a range-request with a HEAD command, but your server must ignore it.
