Presumably your http client is making range requests. I suppose there's
a possible feature in squid if asked for a range request that is == to
the entire file, that it will return 206, not 200, but 206 is valid
according to RFC2616.

Everything is ok with 206 for http operation. Maybe your client isn't
rfc2616 conformant?

Yeah, my feature guess above. Slap tcpdump on the traffic and see if you
can spot anythin.

206 does not imply a boundary on the reply size. It implies a REQUEST
for bounded data.

Uhmm, loook in the debug-sections.txt file, and up client side a bit,
until you can see the request being asked of squid. Or just use tcpdump
:]
