This feature can be used to return the session key for just a part of
a file. For example to downloading just the first 32k of a huge file,
decrypting that incomplete part and while ignoring all the errors
break out the session key. The session key may then be used on the
server to decrypt the entire file without the need to have the private
key on the server.
