The following errata report has been held for document update 
for RFC7233, "Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Range Requests". 

--------------------------------------
You may review the report below and at:
https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5620

--------------------------------------
Status: Held for Document Update
Type: Technical

Reported by: Armin Abfalterer <a.abfalterer@gmail.com>
Date Reported: 2019-02-01
Held by: Barry Leiba (IESG)

Section: 4.2

Original Text
-------------
Content-Range       = byte-content-range
                    / other-content-range

other-content-range = other-range-unit SP other-range-resp
other-range-resp    = *CHAR

Corrected Text
--------------


Notes
-----
Due to the loose definition of "other-content-range" invalid "byte content range" values are possible.

For example, following invalid header value is not valid according to "byte-content-range" (as "complete-length" or "*" is missing) but is yet allowed by "other-content-range".

Content-Range: bytes 42-1233/

The problem might be solved by excluding "bytes-unit" in "other-range-unit".
