What the Range header does
Range asks for only part of a resource, e.g. bytes=0-1023. The server replies 206 Partial Content with just that slice. It powers resumable downloads and seeking in audio/video.
Example
Range: bytes=0-1023Where it's used
Range is a request header. Request headers are sent by the client to describe the request and what the client can accept.
