HTTP headers / response header

Accept-Ranges

Accept-Ranges: bytes

What it does

Advertises that the server supports Range requests on this resource.

The gotcha

Absence does not forbid trying a Range — but a server answering 200 with the full body to your Range request is telling you it does not care.

Debugging headers on a phone

The fastest way to see what Accept-Ranges is actually doing is to send the request and read both sides raw — ReqPad shows auto-generated and custom headers for every request, on all six protocols, with history.
