Description
Description
Certain use cases use the range feature of HTTP: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Range . This allows a client to request a subset of the file. When using the Map Local feature of Proxyman, it just provides the entire file to the client, rather than a subset of the file specified by the range header. Could not find any option to configure the proxy to honor the range.
Why this feature/change is important?
This change is important to support range request testing and debugging. One use case is video streaming.

Research direction
Start by tracing the Map Local request-handling path and compare its current response behavior with the HTTP Range header reference linked in the issue. Done means Map Local returns the requested file subset for range requests while preserving the existing behavior for ordinary requests, with coverage for range-request testing.
