How To Fix SECATT_HTTP_STATUS416 - Requested Range Not Satisfiable

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SECATT_HTTP_STATUS - eCATT HTTP Status Messages

• Message number: 416

• Message text: Requested Range Not Satisfiable

What causes this issue?

A server SHOULD return a response with this status code if a request
included a Range request-header field (section 14.35), and none of the
range-specifier values in this field overlap the current extent of the
selected resource, and the request did not include an If-Range
request-header field. (For byte-ranges, this means that the first-
byte-pos of all of the byte-range-spec values were greater than the
current length of the selected resource.)
When this status code is returned for a byte-range request, the response
SHOULD include a Content-Range entity-header field specifying the
current length of the selected resource (see section 14.16). This
response MUST NOT use the multipart/byteranges content- type.
