HTTP 206 — Partial Content
2xx Success
What it means
The server is returning only part of the resource because the client sent a Range header. Used by video players and download managers.
What to do about it
Nothing to fix. If range requests are failing, check that a proxy or CDN is not stripping Range and Accept-Ranges.
Where it sits
206 belongs to the 2xx family: The request was received, understood and accepted.
