Summary: Axel should not include Range header in the first HTTP request
Initial Comment:
Some servers do not support HTTP ranges and bork when presented with an HTTP range option. Therefore, instead of checking the HTTP return code, axel should check if the Accept-Ranges header is present and correct to find out whether parallel downloading is supported.
