-        range_for_length is used to determine the correct range of bytes to
-        serve from a body, given body length argument and the Range's ranges.
+        This method is used to return multiple ranges for a given length
+        which should represent the length of the underlying content.
+        The constructor method __init__ made sure that any range in ranges
+        list is syntactically valid. So if length is None or size of the
+        ranges is zero, then the Range header should be ignored which will
+        eventually make the response to be 200.
 
-        A limitation of this method is that it can't handle multiple ranges,
-        for compatibility with webob.  This should be fairly easy to extend.
+        If an empty list is returned by this method, it indicates that there
+        are unsatisfiable ranges found in the Range header, 416 will be
+        returned.
 
-        :param length: length of the response body
+        if a returned list has at least one element, the list indicates that
+        there is at least one range valid and the server should serve the
+        request with a 206 status code.
+
+        The start value of each range represents the starting position in
+        the content, the end value represents the ending position. This
+        method purposely adds 1 to the end number because the spec defines
+        the Range to be inclusive.
+
+        The Range spec can be found at the following link:
