The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 416 Range Not Satisfiable
error response code indicates that a server cannot serve the requested ranges. The most likely reason is that the document doesn't contain such ranges, or that the Range
header value, though syntactically correct, doesn't make sense.
The 416
response message contains a Content-Range
indicating an unsatisfied range (that is a '*'
) followed by a '/'
and the current length of the resource. E.g. Content-Range: bytes */12777
Faced with this error, browsers usually either abort the operation (for example, a download will be considered as non-resumable) or ask for the whole document again.
