(I'm not able to reproduce this with go version go1.11rc1 darwin/amd64)

my guess that error happens in io.CopyN, but unfortunately this error ignores https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/src/net/http/fs.go#L296 . I think that this error must be handled. mb there is some windows-specific error here but we can't see it.
For check it you can try to modify this code locally and try to see the error.

[klauspost]

Changing the line above to:

	if r.Method != "HEAD" {
		n, err := io.CopyN(w, sendContent, sendSize)
		fmt.Println(n, err)
	}

Prints out:

Serving from: c:\temp\problem on http://localhost:8080
316 <nil>
0 EOF
0 EOF
0 EOF
0 EOF
0 EOF
...

Printing a bit more it goes through this part of the previous code. The content.Seek does not return an error (ra.start is perfectly reasonable value).

The content is an *os.File. If I am checking the returned position from the Seek call, it is a valid value.

NOW for the really funky part. If I insert a content.Read([]byte{0}) after the Seek, but before the CopyN everything works fine (except for the slight corruption).

It seems like the w ResponseWriter - which is an *http.response implements io.ReaderFrom, so that is used for the io.CopyN.

However I have a hard time seeing the specific problems, it seems there is a problem when the ReaderFrom is used on a Windows file right after seek has been called on it.

[klauspost]

ok, digging deeper n0, err := rf.ReadFrom(src) returns 0, nil when stuff is failing, I guess indicating that it could not read anything from the file.

@klauspost, on a whim, does it work if you reverse:

+	o.o.OffsetHigh = uint32(curpos)
+	o.o.Offset = uint32(curpos >> 32)

And change OffsetHigh to Offset and vice-versa?

[klauspost]

@bradfitz Yes, that fixes the issue on my end (and also looks correct).
