Well, one comment -- which perhaps I ought to have made before -- is that
I don't think 206 means what you think it means. [*] From RFC 2068:
10.2.7 206 Partial Content
The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource.
The request must have included a Range header field (section 14.36)
indicating the desired range. The response MUST include either a
Content-Range header field (section 14.17) indicating the range
included with this response, or a multipart/byteranges Content-Type
including Content-Range fields for each part.
So it's when a part of the resource has been asked for and is being
returned. For example, PDFs are often downloaded page-by-page in this way.
[*] Hey, boss, you keep using that word...
