From RFC 2616: Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 (can be found online at "ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2616.txt";). 206 Partial Content: The server has fulfilled the partial GET request for the resource.
That is, if a client requests part of the content and the server delivers that part, the server successfully fulfills the request. The size of the request is not a factor. Whether or not the server successfully fulfills the request is the only factor.

By default analog counts status 206 as a distinct successful reference. However, I have a large file that gets downloaded from my site.
In looking at my access log, I notice that sometimes a download of my large file is complete with one 200 entry.
But other times, the file has multiple entries, 200 being the first entry followed by multiple 206 entries.
I think this is caused by the browser requesting smaller portions at a time in order to download the whole file in smaller pieces.
If this is correct, it would seem that I should only count the 200s in order to get the actual number of distinct download requests for the individual file.
But since analog counts 206s by default, I wonder if I am understaind this correctly.
Any insight appreciated.
Thank, Rick
