206 Partial Content
The 206 Partial Content status code indicates that the request contains only the subsets of the representation requested by the client in the Range request-header.
Writing responses (servers)
The 206 (Partial Content) response must be used any time the Range request-header is honored. See that page for more information.
Reading responses (clients)
206 Partial Content indicates the operation resulted in the creation of a new resource.
If the response contains a Content-Range header, then the response body is range that was requested. If there is no header, the response body will be a "multi-part" response that must be parsed to read the requested ranges; this will be a multipart/byteranges document.
