What did you do?

Run this code:

package main

import (
	"errors"
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"time"
)

var nothing io.ReadSeeker = empty{}

type empty struct{}

func (empty) Read(_ []byte) (int, error) {
	return 0, io.EOF
}
func (empty) Seek(offset int64, _ int) (int64, error) {
	if offset == 0 {
		return 0, nil
	}
	return 0, errors.New("out of bound")
}

type handler struct{}

func (handler) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	http.ServeContent(w, r, "", time.Now(), nothing)
}

func main() {
	err := http.ListenAndServe("127.0.0.1:11111", handler{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}
$ go run a.go # run in the background
$ curl -IL localhost:11111 -H "Range: bytes=0-1048575"

What did you expect to see?

A 200 with the "complete" file:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Last-Modified: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:21:28 GMT
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:21:28 GMT

What did you see instead?

HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable
Content-Range: bytes */0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Last-Modified: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:26:49 GMT
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 15:26:49 GMT
Content-Length: 33

Comments

FWIW Nginx's behaviour is 200 and this is my prefered solution (nothing forces the server to always use requested ranges, you can always decide to override this and send 200).

RFC7233 specify [x,y] ranging.

Reason it's a problem

This make our go backend clash with our nginx caching reverse proxy because we have fragment caching enabled and therefore add a header "Range: bytes=0-1048575" to any requests that dont already have them (which is common practice).
See ipfs/kubo#9238

I agree that returning 200 here seems sensible.
