Description
It would be great if the file middleware supported range requests. This way strata could be used for html video streaming (with full seek support). Here is how I implemented it most recently in vfs-http https://github.com/c9/vfs/blob/master/http-adapter/restful.js#L82-93

Research direction
Start by locating the file middleware entry point in Strata and compare its behavior with the linked vfs-http implementation at http-adapter/restful.js#L82-93. Verify how range requests should support HTML video seeking, then run the existing middleware tests if available and add coverage showing that range requests return the expected partial response.
