public void AddRange (string rangeSpecifier, int range)

Parameters

rangeSpecifier
A string that contains the description of the range. [Edit]
range
A int that designates the starting or ending point of the range. If this value is positive, the range is from the beginning of the data to range. If this value is negative, the range is from range to the end of the data. [Edit]

ArgumentExceptionrangeSpecifier is invalid. [Edit]
InvalidOperationExceptionThe range header could not be added. [Edit]

Remarks

Note:

The HTTP Range header specifies either a single range of bytes or a set of byte ranges in an entity-body to be returned. If the server accessed by the current instance supports the use of this header, this allows for the partial retrieval of the entity due to, for example, the entity being particularly large or there having been a failed transfer of data.

For more information on the HTTP Range header, see Section 14.35 of RFC 2616.
