Nginx is not accepting range of bytes

Solution

I was able to get range requests working after adding the following line to my nginx site config

    proxy_force_ranges on;

Problem

I am using nginx to serve videos from the file system. I would like to enable range request. Currently this is the result returned for my file ``` curl -I fileurl HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: nginx Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2014 06:41:41 GMT Content-Type: video/mp4 Content-Length: 15603963 Last-Modified: Sat, 04 Jan 2014 15:02:26 GMT Connection: keep-alive Keep-Alive: timeout=300 Accept-Ranges: bytes ``` But if I send curl --header "Range: bytes=0-50" fileurl the whole file is downloaded. This is the server in nginx config: ``` server { listen 80; server_name myserver; error_log logs/myserver.error.log; access_log logs/myserver.access.log; root /srv/myserver; #add_header Accept-Ranges; add_header Accept-Ranges bytes; } ``` Do I have to enable anything else? How could I allow range requests for the files?
