+The `X-Resume` header holds a [byte
+range](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.35.1) that
+informs the client which parts of the file have not been received yet. It is
+up to the client to choose appropiate `PUT` requests to complete the upload.
+
+The absence of a `X-Resume` header means that the the entire file has been
+received by the server.
