Add_header for 206?

Server NGINX
1

Hi!

Quote from wiki:

Add_header
“Adds headers to the HTTP response when the response code is equal to
200, 204, 301, 302 or 304.”

Any reason we missing 206?

I tend to think it was just forgotten, probably because nginx’s
own range filter (which will generate 206 from 200) only appears
later in headers filter chain. Therefore nginx’s own 206 will
have headers added via add_header, while proxied 206 responses
won’t.

Trivial patch:
