416 HTTP Response Issue

[anish10dec]

Hi Team,

Though we have proxy cache valid defined to cache only respective response
code , nginx caching 416 response.

proxy_cache_valid  200 206  10d;
proxy_cache_key    $uri$http_range;

416 is returned from upstream server and its getting cached on Ngnix.

Even with default settings by not specifying http response behavior is
same.
proxy_cache_valid  10d;


Sample response cached on CDN for 416 Response
