Troubleshoot

I'm encountering an error and reviewing the docs at /flg~eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9._f7-_v0.H1pbXxc_pwT_uVOl9HPQTOSEJsJVY_sGnFnlG1GD0mM/docs/errors/RANGE_MISSING_UNIT to understand what's happening. Please help me resolve this by: 1. **Suggest the fix**: Analyze my codebase context and propose what needs to be changed to resolve this error 2. **Explain the root cause**: Break down why this error occurred: - What was the code actually doing vs. what it needed to do? - What conditions triggered this specific error? - What misconception or oversight led to this? 3. **Teach the concept**: Help me understand the underlying principle: - Why does this error exist and what is it protecting me from? - What's the correct mental model for this concept? - How does this fit into the broader framework/language design? 4. **Show warning signs**: Help me recognize this pattern in the future: - What should I look out for that might cause this again? - Are there similar mistakes I might make in related scenarios? - What code smells or patterns indicate this issue? 5. **Discuss alternatives**: Explain if there are different valid approaches and their trade-offs My goal is to fix the immediate issue while building lasting understanding so I can avoid and resolve similar errors independently in the future.

To troubleshoot this error, follow these steps:

  1. Specify unit identifier: Ensure that the Range header in your request specifies a unit identifier like bytes
  2. Check configuration: If the Range header values are being set automatically by some part of your system, check the configuration to ensure the unit identifier is being included
  3. Verify syntax: Verify that the syntax of the Range header is correct and follows the format unit=range-start-range-end, for example, bytes=0-999
  4. Debugging: If the error persists, log the Range header values in your server logs to debug and understand what values are being sent in requests
