What it means

A 206 Partial Content response is sent when the client requested only a portion of a resource using the Range header. This is used for resuming downloads, streaming video, and parallel downloads of large files.

Common causes

• A Range request was made for part of a file.
• A video player or download manager is requesting a specific byte range.

How to fix it

• No action needed. This is the expected response for a range request.
