HTTP 206 Partial Content vs 307 Temporary Redirect
HTTP 206 (Partial Content) is a 2xx Success response, while 307 (Temporary Redirect) is a 3xx Redirection response. 206 indicates that the server is delivering only part of the resource due to a Range header sent by the client. Used for resumable downloads and video streaming. In contrast, 307 means that the resource temporarily resides at a different URL. Unlike 302, this guarantees the HTTP method will NOT be changed.
