Is this really
if :ts:cv:`proxy.config.http.cache.http` is set to false (0)

This cache here is a configuration of compress plugin. https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/en/10.0.x/admin-guide/plugins/compress.en.html#cache
Config like below generates corrupted content. ( compressed partial content with status code 200 OK )
cache false
range-request true
Also, I want to mention a thing, even if this cache config is true, and range-request is false like below,
cache true
range-request false
once compressed content is cached, response to the Range request will be "partial content of compressed contents", that's probably not what client want. Actually, intention and spec is unclear.
IMO, if a client send both of Accept-Encoding and Range header, we should choose one of them as a workaround. ( I'll file an issue and PR for this )

The second case, cache true and range-request false, is covered by #11975

In the PR/issue meeting today, we discussed the plugin issuing an ERROR message if this body-corrupting configuration combination is detected. |

Sorry Vijay, doc is updated.
