Nginx Download MP3 206 Partial Content HTTP Response

Sun Nov 8 14:51:36 UTC 2020

All:

I've made some more progress in that when I copy/paste the AJAX URL into my
browser's address-bar, the MP3 download request is successfully made and the
MP3 is downloaded (opposed to the previous examples when I clicked on the
MP3 download link).

Interestingly, the copy/paste method yields an initial 302 response opposed
to a 200 response with the click link method.

Copy/Paste Method:

I could use an extra set of eyes to review the requests/responses and logs
to confirm whether I'm missing something.

The Click Link and the Copy/Paste Methods are both going through the Nginx
Reverse Proxy.

Much Appreciated.
