For example, if the client tries to request:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Range: bytes=1000000-2000000<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>But the file only has 500,000 bytes, the server will respond with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>HTTP\/1.1 416 Range Not Satisfiable\nContent-Range: bytes *\/500000<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This means the client has asked for bytes that are outside the bounds of the resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When-can-you-typically-encounter-the-HTTP-416-error\"><\/span>When can you typically encounter the HTTP 416 error?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The error always occurs when the Range header is present. Like in the previously explained scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Resuming Downloads with an Invalid Offset<\/strong><br>When a user resumes a partially downloaded file, the browser (or download manager) may request a byte range that no longer exists \u2014 for example, if the file has been updated or deleted.<br>Example: A 5MB video was partially downloaded, but then updated to 3MB. A resume request to byte 5000000 will fail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buggy JavaScript Media Players<\/strong><br>Many custom audio\/video players use Range headers to load specific chunks. If the script calculates the ranges incorrectly, users may see broken media or the 416 error in DevTools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manual resource or API Range Requests<\/strong><br>In APIs or CLI tools (like curl), developers sometimes explicitly request invalid ranges while testing or scripting downloads.<br><em>curl -H &#8220;Range: bytes=99999999-100000000&#8221; http:\/\/example.com\/video.mp4<\/em><br>If the file isn\u2019t that large, the request fails with a 416 status code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serving Empty or Corrupt Files<\/strong><br>If a server tries to respond to a Range request on an empty file (0 bytes), any range requested will be invalid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-resolve-the-416-error-code\"><\/span>How to resolve the 416 error code<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clear Browser Cache<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First and foremost, try clearing your browser cache and then attempting the process again. Sometimes, some resources may be updated while still retaining the old cached content. You can follow the steps to clear the browser cache on both Chrome and Firefox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Firefox<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Firefox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the menu (\u2630) in the top-right corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to Settings (or Preferences on macOS).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Privacy &amp; Security on the left.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll to the Cookies and Site Data section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Clear Data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For Chrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Chrome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the menu (\u22ee) in the top-right corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to Settings &gt; Privacy and security &gt; Clear browsing data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under the Basic tab:<br>o Time range: choose &#8220;All time&#8221; (or as needed)<br>o Check Cached images and files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Clear data.<br>Stop the download file and try downloading it again<br>When downloading larger files, the download may be interrupted, and after resuming, you may encounter the 416 error message. However, don\u2019t worry; restart the download from the beginning, and most of the time, the issue should be resolved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check the application or Apache\/Nginx logs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To gain a better understanding of what might be causing the issue, you can review the Apache\/Nginx or application logs to investigate further and identify more detailed messages that may reveal the exact cause of the 416 error. For Apache web servers, you can check if the mod_headers is enabled and if Accept-Ranges is correctly configured. If you are still experiencing the issue, you can also disable range requests, which is not recommended for websites with a large number of media resources. You can disable range requests by adding the following line to the <strong>.htaccess<\/strong> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Header unset Accept-Ranges<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>HTTP 416<\/strong> error can be particularly challenging, especially when handling media files or partial content delivery. Understanding how Range headers work and ensuring your server or app respects content boundaries is key to avoiding this issue. Whether you\u2019re an end-user, developer, or sysadmin, a systematic approach will help you resolve the 416 error effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can always contact our technical support.
