: Does viewing PDF pages in a browser send multiple HTTP requests to the server? The person in charge of the metrics analysis in our organization has told me she has to do some filtering on
The person in charge of the metrics analysis in our organization has told me she has to do some filtering on requests for PDFs to separate views of pages in the PDF (in the browser I assume) and the initial download of the file. Does this make sense to anyone? Does anyone have any documentation on this? She called it a "506 return code" but the HTTP 506 code doesn't seem like it would apply here.

I'd say it's more likely to be a 206 (Partial content) code.
One PDF = one resource. But if the file is large and both the browser and the server support range requests, the file can be fetched over a sequence of multiple requests. (RFC 7233)
