849      <p id="rfc.section.A.p.1">When an HTTP 206 (Partial Content) response message includes the content of multiple ranges (a response to a request for multiple
850         non-overlapping ranges), these are transmitted as a multipart message-body. The media type for this purpose is called "multipart/byteranges".
851      </p>
852      <p id="rfc.section.A.p.2">The multipart/byteranges media type includes two or more parts, each with its own Content-Type and Content-Range fields. The
853         required boundary parameter specifies the boundary string used to separate each body-part.
