Is there a way to stop the avplayer sending a range http header field

If you load remote files with the AVPlayer it sends a http request with a range field in the request header, 开发者_运维百科something like

Range: bytes=0-8148096

I like to use the SevenDigital commercial API for streaming songs but they cannot handle this Range header. Is there a way to change the URL requests the AVPlayer sends?

Nope, and it is an apple standard that media providers need to support http 1.1 with the range header (check out the iTunes store guidelines for podcasts for example), so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. You'll need to roll your own here, sorry.
