karlfranz Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Hello, the web statistics of my site showed my site have some HTTP Error codes. I want to know what is mean by "206 Partial Content " and what's the cause of this error? Thank you! Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 A web server error message. Error code 206 (Partial Content) means that only part of the file was transferred. This error is generated when a user clicks the stop button on their browser while downloading a page, or aborts a file download while it is still downloading. This can also be caused by download accelerator programs that download large files in chunks From http://www.e-consultancy.com/knowledge/glossary/6/206-partial-content.html Quote
LisaJill Posted May 31, 2004 Posted May 31, 2004 Here is a definitive list of http status codes from the w3. =) Quote
karlfranz Posted June 2, 2004 Author Posted June 2, 2004 The web statistics of my site showed the bandwidth of Error code 206 (Partial Content) is 11.37 MB in 2 days. I'm concerned and want to know what's wrong? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Have you checked your error logs to see what files are giving the 206? Quote
karlfranz Posted June 3, 2004 Author Posted June 3, 2004 I can't press the "206"(not alink) to check the error logs. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 I found this when searching for it: 206 is not an error code, it's a success code. You'll get that status when clients requests parts of files (a range of bytes) - resumed downloads and/or download tools are typical examples. Found it on: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/archive/thread/176330-1.html Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 I clicked your link in your profile and it seems like your site is in chinese (correct?). So i assume all this can be that a visitor enters your site, see it is in a language its browser do not understand and leaves before site is fully loaded. Above is just a guess though. Quote
karlfranz Posted June 3, 2004 Author Posted June 3, 2004 Yes, my site is in Chinese. However, since the bandwidth of Error 206 is near 20MB it seems the "error" file is not a HTML file. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 In your cPanel look for an icon or link that says raw access logs. Download your logs and open them in a text editor to see what the file is that gives that error code. Quote
karlfranz Posted June 3, 2004 Author Posted June 3, 2004 Do you mean this two links? Raw Log File Raw Log Manager Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Yes, Click the Raw Log File and save it to your desktop. I open mine in EditPlus and read it from there to see what specific files are giving me grief. Quote
karlfranz Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 But the file is in ".gz" format. I can't open it with NotePad... Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 You will need to "unzip" it first. You can use Winrar or any similar program for that. Quote
karlfranz Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 I know,but the file inside the zip file is a MS-DOS file,how can I open it with NotePad? Quote
Deverill Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 The log file is named after your domain. If it's a something.com domain name then it looks like a MS-DOS file but it's not. Just rename it to .TXT and it will open in any text editing program, such as notepad. Also remember what Thomas said, it's not really a "something went wrong" error. It's just saying "You asked for the last half of the file and you got it." This is indeed what the download helpers do and it may well be a 40MB download that someone dropped off half way through and then resumed. Quote
karlfranz Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 How to change the extension from .com to .txt? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Open the archive, save the file to your computer's hard drive and rename it with a .TXT extension. If you use Windows open Windows Explorer, go to the folder you save the file in, right click on it select rename. Change the .com to .txt and hit enter. You will get a warning message asking if you are sure you want to change the extension. Answer "Yes". Quote
karlfranz Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 I can only rename the file name but not the extension... Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 It shows as a MSDOS file for me, I dont even rename it. I right-click and select open with and then my text editor. You could right-click and rename to log.txt instead if needed but if on a Win machine you may want to try the open with method. WarHammer fan? Quote
karlfranz Posted June 4, 2004 Author Posted June 4, 2004 I right-clicked it,but I can only select "open" ,no other choice to open it. P.S. Yes,I'm a Warhammer fan. Quote
karlfranz Posted June 5, 2004 Author Posted June 5, 2004 OK, now I have changed the extension, but how to find which files are giving the 206? Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 (edited) You should see something like this for each line; 152.163.242.211 - - [31/May/2004:13:02:28 -0400]"GET /shop/images/cold/4111427.jpg HTTP/1.1" 200 1785 "http://www.******/shop/index.php/cPath/33_42" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20020924 AOL/7.0" Te part in BOLD above is the code, in my case a 200, do a find for 206.
