Feature request: Optional range parameter for download request
Hi! 

Developer of B2Fuse here. An idea was put forth to use B2 CLI Python API as backend for B2Fuse to handle integration against B2. This is an excellent idea but requires an additional feature from B2 CLI. In order to use B2 CLI Python API in B2Fuse the download call needs to be able to request part of a file. This should be implemented as an optional feature, as in some cases it will also be necessary to request entire files.

Would this be possible to add? 

Best 
Sondre
