The Range header requests the server to send only a portion of a resource. This is used for resumable downloads, video streaming, and large file transfers.

If the server supports ranges, it responds with 206 Partial Content and the Content-Range header. If ranges are not supported or the range is invalid, it returns the full resource with 200 OK or 416 Range Not Satisfiable.
