Wrong Status Code in HTTP-Trace #92

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Sometimes, the Status Code in the HTTP-Trace is wrong, it outputs 200 instead 
of 206.

Example:

=== REQUEST ===

GET /Installation/ HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:30013
Accept-Encoding: gzip
Connection: keep-alive
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 SF/1.69b
Range: bytes=0-199999
Referer: http://localhost/

=== RESPONSE ===

HTTP/1.1 200 Partial Content
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 14:22:44 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.29 (Win32)
Last-Modified: Fri, 27 Aug 2010 14:24:16 GMT
ETag: "0-f3-4c77ca90"
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 243
Content-Range: bytes 0-242/243
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=89
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: text/html

=== END OF DATA ===

Real Answer by Apache (output from Telnet, c/p of the request from above)

That's by design, because many servers respond with 206 codes in a somewhat 
inconsistent manner. Is this interfering with your planned use in any way? If 
yes, let me know how.
