Incorrect advice in documentation regarding WebDAV

WebDAV supports resume, it uses the HTTP Range header.
In an HTTP session it would look something like;
---> Range: bytes=1234688808-
---> Connection: keep-alive
<--- Content-Length: 30880119466
<--- Content-Range: bytes 1234688808-32114808273/32114808274

The page asserts;
WinSCP supports resuming file transfers with SFTP and FTP protocols. SCP and WebDAV protocols do not allow it.
It should say WinSCP does not support it. I'm getting questions about this and I have to refute your advice, please correct this so people know it's a limitation of WinSCP.

Thank you.

Re: Incorrect advice in documentation regarding WebDAV

Well, ok, the wording might not be exact. But note that Range works for downloads only.
