For requests to partial content (like skipping in videos), the Range header helps to find the request for the beginning of a resource. This is valuable when trying to tell apart starting a video stream, and seeking in a video stream, which improves quality of counting media file requests. It is typically empty, hence does not add much to the average message length.
