support is also transparently handled when serving
xref:web/webmvc/mvc-config/static-resources.adoc[static resources].
NOTE: To be handled transparently, the `Resource` object must not be a `InputStreamResource` and, in case of an annotated controller returning `ResponseEntity<Resource>`, the status of the response must be 200.
The underlying support is in the `HttpRange` class, which exposes methods to parse
`Range` headers and split a `Resource` into a `List<ResourceRegion>` that in turn can be
then written to the response via `ResourceRegionHttpMessageConverter`.
