In the case with HTTP, isn't the *RANGE data simply passed on in the request headers? That's how it is supposed to work, and then you get the response back that the server sends and if that truly sends two bytes back when you asked for one, I think it smells like the server is perhaps not sending the proper response ?

how to download 1byte data in curl? (libcurl or curltool)
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RANGE, "0-1");  // download 2bytes
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RANGE, "1-1");  // download nothing
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RANGE, "0-1");  // download nothing
