// Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
// headers: Content-Length, x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
// are automatically set by Chilkat.

// Add the x-ms-range header.
// See x-ms-range Header Format
// The file we're downloading contains "Hello World!", so we'll download just the "World!" part..
