The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application-
level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information
systems. This document formerly defined range requests and the rules
for constructing and combining responses to those requests, which has
since been moved to the core HTTP Semantics document.

1. Introduction
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) clients often encounter
interrupted data transfers as a result of canceled requests or
dropped connections. This document defined HTTP/1.1 range requests,
partial responses, and the multipart/byteranges media type.
The entire content of this document (previously in [RFC2616] and
[RFC7233]) has been moved to [Semantics].
