“服务器已经成功处理了部分GET请求。类似于FlashGet或者迅雷这类的HTTP 下载工具都是使用此类响应实现断点续传或者将一个大文档分解为多个下载段同时下载。“ — wikipedia
“The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource. The request MUST have included a Range header field indicating the desired range, and MAY have included an If-Range header field to make the request conditional.
The response MUST include the following header fields:
-Either a Content-Range header field indicating the range included with this response, or a multipart/byteranges Content-Type including Content-Range fields for each part. If a Content-Length header field is present in the response, its value MUST match the actual number of OCTETs transmitted in the message-body.
-Date
-ETag and/or Content-Location, if the header would have been sent in a 200 response to the same request
-Expires, Cache-Control, and/or Vary, if the field-value might differ from that sent in any previous response for the same variant
If the 206 response is the result of an If-Range request that used a strong cache validator, the response SHOULD NOT include other entity-headers. If the response is the result of an If-Range request that used a weak validator, the response MUST NOT include other entity-headers; this prevents inconsistencies between cached entity-bodies and updated headers. Otherwise, the response MUST include all of the entity-headers that would have been returned with a 200 (OK) response to the same request.
A cache MUST NOT combine a 206 response with other previously cached content if the ETag or Last-Modified headers do not match exactly.
A cache that does not support the Range and Content-Range headers MUST NOT cache 206 (Partial) responses.“ — ietf
