> So the above example would translate into a HEADERS frame (+END_HEADERS) covering the first set of headers (e.g. date, last-modified, content-length, content-type) and then everything thereafter (separators, "Content-Type: application/pdf", content-range, binary data, etc) would be wrapped into a DATA frame?

Yep.  The content-type is multipart/byteranges;... .  The content
starts at the first '--' + boundary and ends at the last '--' +
boundary + '--', all of which gets carried in DATA frames.
