Disabling file resuming with X-Accel / Removing headers

[Adrián Navarro]

Thank you everyone for your answers.

max_ranges 0; works great if set in the main server {} directive.
Sadly, when put inside a location directive, it will not work. The
same applies for more_clear_headers.

The other thing I'm seeing is that while headers with max_range for
the whole directive does return correct headers, chrome still allows
pausing.

I better get some sleep and keep digging tomorrow.

Thank you, I'll follow up soon.
