connection sets that seekable to false if return code is anything else
than 206 from http-server, and it defaults to true if connect doesnt'
change it. But following scenario:

default = seekable true
http request -> 401 auth (seekable to false)
http req w/auth -> 206 OK (seekable would stay true if there wouldn't be
that 401 earlier)
